Re: [PATCH] Prefix List patch against 2.5.70

Hi Dave and Yoshfuji,

I have a question about the following, which seems to be the
approach both of you prefer. I thought we need a new routing
message type called RTM_GETPLIST which will return full prefix
list. If you use RTA_RA6INFO, then should that trigger only
when the prefix list has changed (add or delete) ? Should I
have both interfaces, one for returning entire list (RTM) and
one for changes in prefix list (RTA) ?

Please let me know if my understanding is correct.

Thanks,

- KK
