From: Ben Greear <greearb@candelatech.com> Date: Wed, 28 Aug 2002 00:49:57 -0700 At the time I wrote the vlan code, ... Ben I basically rewrote nearly the entirety of your VLAN stack. Next, the lookups happen during ifconfig, and we found this to be a bug in how ifconfig itself worked. It made ifconfig of 4k vlans happen in 20 seconds instead of 25 minutes I challenge you to make 4K vlan ifconfig's take 25 minutes with current sources (both user tools and kernel VLAN stack). So, I still think it would be good to hash. Just like the first time you brought this up, and now for the umpteenth time, I totally disagree. Looking up by index is totally slow path and therefore there is no need to complicate it. - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
