I think all are pretty much covered if you let some controler (I prefer user space) ADD/DEL/GET/Event on the fdb TRILL really is outside the scope of this; from an encap/decap it probably needs to be YAND (Yet another netdev) and from a control side of things you need to just provide the above netlink ops(ADD, etC) on the fdb and let the controller worry about things (Actually you _may_ need to have learning done outside of the kernel for TRILL) > * the bridge forwarding database is simpler and different than the existing > neighbor table, don't remember the details but last time I checked it > using neighbor table in bridge would be putting square peg in round hole.
