I have no problem with this. Whoever decides to tackle this, however, also needs to hunt down all the other tables that use ifIndex in some fashion or another, and update them to use the data access routines to get ifIndex instead of the ioctl they currently use. Note that this implies that we get the ifIndex related routines for all the platforms that are using the ioctl ported over to the new method. Any volunteers? Financial sponsors?

Yes, I think that would be a good thing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
