--xo44VMWPx7vlQ2+2 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline What are people's thoughts on extending ifconfig(8) to configure netgraph-based interfaces, such as ng_fec(4)? The recent trend has been to allow all kinds of different network interfaces to be configured uniformly through ifconfig. Is there any reason functionality based on netgraph nodes should be excluded? On a related note, is there any reason to not to use netgraph to implement things like FEC for production use? Are there any advantages to using a normal pseudo device (like NetBSD's agr(4)) instead of improving the netgraph node? Performance concerns, anything like that? Any input on either issue would be appreciated.
