A couple of other suggestions: - For software routers (quagga, zebra etc.) it would be very nice to have "link up" / "link down" notifications to the routing process(es). - One feature sorely missed (which I use a lot in my daily work with hardware based routers) is the ability to associate a "description" field with each interface. Note that this should be available both for physical interfaces (Ethernet etc.) and for logical interfaces (e.g. vlan). Steinar Haug, Nethelp consulting, sthaug@nethelp.no
