>Please note that the ip6protosw is ALSO very broken unfortunately, you are wrong. yes, protosw is supposed to be protocol-independent. however, due to the nature of IPv6 extension headers (you can have infinite number of them) you can blow the kernel stack very easily. therefore, we had to do ip6protosw.h. please read my Usenix paper (on m_pulldown and mbuf issues in BSD IPv6 support) two years ago. itojun To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
