We're trying to reduce our local changes to FreeBSD to a= llow us an easier time upgrading to newer FreeBSD releases, and support t= he modularization of the network stack we'd proposed earlier. I'm sending= this out to propose changing IFNAMSIZ from 16 to 60 (this is the size w= e use) in FreeBSD. We don't see any downside (other than increasing the i= freq structure size for one) to doing this, as allowing longer interface = names can be handy for vendors. I'd like to hear if there's a strong obje= ction to this. If not, we'd like to get this into to the FreeBSD codebase= =2E Any thoughts/objections highly appreciated. Changing this will break route socket (if_announcemsghdr). We definitely need some rtsock changes in many areas so maybe we can consider bumping rtsock version for 10.0, however it needs to be discussed (maybe at Malta?) >=20 > Thanks, > Anu > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-net-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" >=20 ------enig2THIBILQCFMGUTJMNMUDS Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.20 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iEYEARECAAYFAlI3YJsACgkQwcJ4iSZ1q2lPewCgktgO8IwRZt9JDyeKpSORxy3B Pl4AoJIgtWENYy84EASGGxIH6lD/rTj3 =bbTb -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------enig2THIBILQCFMGUTJMNMUDS--
