Sorry, slightly off topic - and this old (catching up
with netdev randomly going backwards)..
I was curious after seeing the exchange with Eric D. on
the tunnels and how you have your own tree so i glossed
over what your project is doing.
It seems to me that you reinvented things that exist in
Linux already such as bridging, tunnels and what really
caught my attention: ability to do flows (tc actions).
It is possible Linux is missing something you wanted or was
not efficient enough?
[For example: I couldnt see anything you needed
on flow-action management that Linux couldnt do already
(with already very nice well structured netlink APIs)]
cheers,
jamal
