The big diff from back in January isn't what people necessarily need to look at right now. I could send a description of all the pieces in that patch, but I think it would be confusing to people at this point, as we are now trying to instead break the patch set up into easily digestible pieces. http://people.freebsd.org/~marcel/Juniper/201311/netstack-option.diff is the starting point, introducing the NETSTACK option. Yes, the final point will be the capability to have the network stack as a loadable module. The does not preclude building the network stack into the kernel (which is the default, even with the NETSTACK option being introduced, as we are adding the option to the relevant DEFAULTS files.) -- Stephen J.
