I am not sure about the above statement. 2.6.17.14 works but 2.6.11+
are still work in progress?
I am not sure that I want patches that are pre-2.6.19. I see that
2.6.20.7 (today's version) has BEET, and so does 2.6.19+ I understand.
Is there a separate patch on top of 2.6.19+ that does the interfamily
piece of BEET? Where is that patch, and is it stable?
More generally, I want to explore again a Linux implementation that
requires no patches to run HIP, yet has kernel-space data processing.
Loadable kernel modules are OK, as long as CONFIG_*=m in the typical
distribution. This is to facilitate deployment; I think that asking
testers to rebuild their kernel is too cumbersome. In the absence of
something like BEET module, we would resort to custom iptables mangle
modules.
- is it true that 2.6.19+ as is requires no patches to do base/esp/mm
HIP processing, if one does not want to do interfamily roaming?
- will it be true that 2.6.2? (with interfamily) will be the same?
That is, even if BEET is supported in the future, will there still be a
need to apply some patch like policy-sleep to get it to work right? I
understand that hipmod will be still experimental (a patch) for now, but
that seems to be a separable piece.
Thanks,
Tom
