Thanks. After some preliminary review this looks pretty good to me in so far as adding the necessary hooks to do what I need to do. I appreciate your effort on this. I'm sort of a hands-on type of person so I need to apply this patch to a private git tree and then take it for a test drive (so to speak). If I have further comments I'll get back to you. Did you have any plans for modifying any user space tools such as 'ip' to use this interface? - Greg > > Signed-off-by: Roopa Prabhu <ropra...@cisco.com> > Signed-off-by: Christian Benvenuti <be...@cisco.com> > Signed-off-by: David Wang <dwa...@cisco.com> > -- > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in > the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org > More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html N�����r��y����b�X��ǧv�^�){.n�+����h����ܨ}���Ơz�&j:+v�������zZ+��+zf���h���~����i���z� �w���?�����&�)ߢf
