Re: [PATCH] IPv6 Prefix List support for 2.5.31

Hi Alexey,

The reasons I didn't put this in the routing table are as follows :

- Routing table will have lots of address prefixes that are not available
  to the local interface addresses. Eg, none of my interfaces might have
  the address 2002:2.., but a route entry can exist for this. More code
needs
  to be present to parse each entry in this case.

- To be a prefix list entry, it should come via an RA. So a manual
   ifconfig <address> should not cause a prefix entry to be created.
   But doing an ifconfig as above would create an entry in the routing
   table. Then the only solution to figure out that this is not a real
Prefix
   entry would involve more code to  determine if this is an RA added
   routing entry or a manual one.

-  Also, the search over a longer routing table across all nodes is more
   time consuming.

Adding to per device interface structures makes it easier to maintain since
the prefix list is per interface (each interface has 'n' prefixes supported
on
that updated by the RA's receieved on that interface).

thanks,

- KK

PS:  I forgot to earlier include this mail to netdev, hence I am giving the
entire patch in this mail again..

Hello!

Listen, let me to ask stupid question: why normal way of storing
prefix list in routing table is not enough???

Hi all,

This patch implements Prefix List support in IPv6. The reasons for the
patch are :

      - RFC conformance (RFC 2461 - Neighbor Discovery, Section 5.1 and
others).
      - Prefix List is needed to support Mobile IPv6 when it gets submitted
to the kernel list.

This code has both been tested within IPv6 and with Mobile IPv6. It has
also been integrated
into the USAGI kernel.

Any comments are welcome.

Thanks,

- KK
