There are a couple of people at UCLA CS in Lixia Zhang's lab who have experience working on the INRIA IPv6 code, as well as the CAIRN people who have been actively doing IPv6 and IPSEC in their version of the FreeBSD kernel (http://www.cairn.net/). I've posted a message to our UCLA Internet Research Lab list to see if anyone's interested/willing to do the integration. -scooter > On Sun, 1 Nov 1998, Garrett Wollman wrote: > > > <<On Sun, 1 Nov 1998 09:37:41 -0500 (EST), Chuck Robey <chuckr@mat.net> said: > > > > > This would serve to give the ideas their best airing, allow the > > > developers to present their cases in the lowest possible pressure > > > consistent with public disclosure, and probably give the loser at least > > > the feeling that they'd certainly been listened to, so their would be > > > less likelihood of injured feelings.
