Last time when I sent an email to net@ for comments, I received only limited feedback. The New ARP code in my home directory on FreeFall and was lasted updated on June-8-2007. It was based on then CURRENT (7.0) and was tested to be working fine at that time. A bit more work would be necessary in locking though. I asked for code review and folks to play with it. Again, the feedback was really scant. The code is accessible at http://people.freebsd.org/~qingli/newarp-06-08-2007/ The question I asked then was "should I move forward?" I'd be more that happy to resume and be done with it. -- Qing > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-freebsd-net@freebsd.org > [mailto:owner-freebsd-net@freebsd.org] On Behalf Of Luigi Rizzo > Sent: Tuesday, December 11, 2007 12:49 AM > To: Julian Elischer; ales.cerri@tiscali.it > Cc: FreeBSD Net > Subject: Re: arp rewrite... > > On Tue, Dec 11, 2007 at 12:37:25AM -0800, Julian Elischer wrote: > > I believe Qing-li (Sp?) did an arp rewrite.. > > the story is a bit longer - Andre drafted the initial design, > which i subsequently took over and with a student, Alessandro > Cerri, (I am Cc-ing him) did a first implementation.
