refactoring ip_output() and the L2 _output()
Hi,
The mail subject may recall someone an old thread:
https://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-net/2013/02/01/msg003847.html
Yes, I'm taking over the task :)
http://www.netbsd.org/~ozaki-r/refactor_l2_output.diff
The patch is basically the same as dyoung's patch with some
tweaks to make it work on -current; it gets rid of route
lookups from L2 output routines such as ether_output
and puts them between ip_output and L2 output routines.
One known issue of the change is that it adds an mbuf flag
to tell ether_output that mbuf is to be set MPLS ether
type. I don't think it's the best way but I don't have
another better approach for now.
Any comments or suggestions are welcome.
Thanks,
ozaki-r
