• netkit-kernel netkit-kernel-K2.7 file released: netkit-kernel-i386-K2.7.tar.bz2

  K2.7 - Fixed a bug in the function that computes a predictable MAC address for virtual network interfaces. Collisions in the function being used frequently caused duplicate MAC addresses. Now a SHA1 hash is used instead. K2.6 - Upgrade to kernel 2.6.26.5. - Upgraded to the MPLS kernel framework version 1.962. - Kernel patches have been cleaned up and are now more self-documented. Also, patches to MPLS-enable the Netkit kernel are shipped in the kernel package. - Enabled support for VDE transport, i.e. the ability to connect virtual machines to the improved fork of the uml_switch offered by the Virtual Distributed Ethernet project. - Enabled support for pcap transport, i.e. the possibility to attach a read-only virtual network device to a filtered stream of packets collected from host interfaces. - Support to other miscellaneous protocols (e.g., L2TP, Bluetooth) is now enabled. Support to other protocols has been dropped in favour of more recent alternatives (e.g., CIFS instead of SMB). - Enabled support for multiple IPv6 routing tables. - The kernel package now includes a makefile to ease the creation of custom kernels. - Instructions to build a custom kernel for use with Netkit have been moved from the netkit-kernel man page to the README. - Network interfaces are now assigned a pseudo-random MAC address, which is computed based on the virtual machine name and the interface ID. K2.5 - Introduced support to MPLS. - IPv6 is now compiled as a module. K2.4 - Renamed the base directory of the kernel tree from netkit2 to netkit. K2.3 - Improved performance thanks to the support for SKAS0 mode introduced since 2.6.13. - Introduced support for link features including delay, loss, duplication, reordering, etc. Emulation of these features is provided by the NETEM packet scheduler. - Introduced support for auditing and for the SELinux infrastructure. K2.2 - Simplified (and fixed) deploying of Netkit kernel modules. The simplification consists in the fact that explicitly dealing with symbolic links is not needed any more: just run `make modules_install' with a seasonable INSTALL_MOD_PATH and that's it. Try `man netkit-kernel' for more information. The fix consists in the fact that, before this release, it was not possible to use modules for a kernel whose version did not match the one expected by the Netkit filesystem. K2.1 Beta - Fixed a bug which limited the maximum number of arguments on the UML kernel command line (as a consequence, virtual machines could not be configured with more than about 6 interfaces, depending on the other options passed to vstart). - The port-helper patch supplied with the Netkit kernel was erroneously reversed. Fixed. K2.0 Beta - A new 2.6.11.7 kernel has been recompiled from scratch. The kernel configuration has been completely revised. Minimal patches have been applied to provide for better stability. - Support for module loading has been introduced, so that the kernel configuration now includes basic commonly used functionalities as built-in pieces, while most of the other features are available as modules. - The kernel should now work flawlessly also with SKAS-patched host kernels.
