There is certainly no one more interested then me on these in, esp. for v6 where the removal of route caching a long time ago made nd6_nud_hint() a NOP with dst and rt being passed down as NULL only, and where we are doing up to three route lookups in the output path if no cached rt is passed down along from the ULP. If there is an updated patch, I'd love to see it. /bz -- Bjoern A. Zeeb You have to have visions! It does not matter how good you are.
