No, it doesn't. In fact, the teeny step, that NetBSD's FAST_IPSEC
coexists with "options INET6" means NetBSD's FAST_IPSEC has marginally
more v6 support than FreeBSD's.


and to change the subject so,ewhat:

While I wholeheartedly applaud you giving Sam credit by coining
"Leffler IPsec' ----- unless Sam objects, and based on his slides from
BSDcon in San Mateo, I almost wish you'd call it Leffler/Stone IPsec.
I've said elsewhere (I hope in NetBSD CVS commit messages?!)  that Sam
deserves all the credit, and I deserve any blame for NetBSD-specific
lossage; but I think it' also a fair cop to claim that FAST_IPSEC
wouldn't be what it is, without my small contribution.

Errrr...Jason, I now realize I'm writing this on the asumption that
you *have* seen Sam's quote of my comments on his original FAST_IPSEC
plans, particlularly a compare-and-contrast of slide #2 and #3 of his
BSDcon presentation. Have you?

Now, having said that, if Sam demurs in any way, shape or form, it
clearly *is* his work, and I'll shut up and withdraw in embarassment.
(At least, I will if I can do so without tripping over my feet.)
