Two I know of are pretty advanced and working (the INRIA >one made by Francis Dupont[1] for 2.2.*) and the Japanese one (Wide >Project[2]). WIDE Project has several implementations. I happened to be one of main hackers for "hydrangea" implementation, which is mainly done on FreeBSD (supports BSDI and NetBSD too) So ask me anything about this. :-) Luckily enough Japan has no restriction on crypto software. So, "hydrangea" implementation includes IPsec. It also includes IPv6-over-ATM. Our code is heavily used in Japan 6bone. Visit ftp://ftp.itojun.org/pub/ipv6/ to fetch the latest kit. >One of the interesting things I've heard about the Wide implementation is >that they use a user-mode daemon to do most of the work (to be confirmed, >I've not seen the code). As stated above WIDE has several implementations. "v6d" implementation (done by onoe@sm.sony.co.jp) is daemon-based. Others are kernel-based. Jun-ichiro itojun Itoh itojun@itojun.org
