Re: [Linux-vrf-general] linux-vrf-patch

Sailusha,

AFAIK, the VRF patch has been unmaintained for a very long time.
Linux kernels above ~2.6.22 have network namespaces (read about it in LWN or other such places) which replace most of the functionality of the VRF patch. It's unlikely you'll succeed in patching new kernels with the VRF patch, as it conflicts heavily with the namespaces code.

There was an attempt to extend the namespaces code to be more compatible with the VRF patch code, but I don't know what's the current status. See here:
