Subject:   Generating RTM_IFINFO messages on interface description change?
Message-ID:  <FDFB7BD2-3DCD-45FA-83DA-31D9DC4A50B3@gmail.com>

Hello,

I'm currently trying to enable bsnmpd to export the interface
descriptions that are supported on FreeBSD 8+ as ifDescr and
while doing it I'm wondering if RTM_IFINFO msgs should be generated
on description set/change. This would greatly simplify the functionality
in bsnmpd and would prevent needless polls/ioctls.

My opinion is that it probably is OK to generate RTM_IFINFO on this =
event but are there other opinions?


Regards,
Nikolay=
