This bonus should not be overlooked. Well I'm also looking at IPv6 at the moment and it would really be nice if we can get a version of IPv6 standard in FreeBSD. I have been looking at (and using) the KAME stuff the last few weeks and am quite impressed with it. One of the advantages (for me) about the KAME stack is that we also get their IPSEC stuff, while with INRIA being in France, it makes things a little more complicated. It does mean that we will probably have to decide beforehand how we will deal with the crypto code. Maybe somehow seperate it and make it available from internat.freebas.org for the nonUSA people, like the rest of the FreeBSD crypto code? I know the last IPv6 discussion ended with the idea that the different IPv6 groups should "get together" and figure out what should go into FreeBSD and where it should go into FreeBSD, but I'm not sure that anything happened after that? Or was it just behind the scenes? John -- John Hay -- John.Hay@mikom.csir.co.za To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
