AW: [linux-vrf-core] vrfctl integrated into iproute2

[Alex P. <al...@pe...>]

Hi James,
it's cool to see my name in the P4 directory.

What do you mean by 'using netlink for vrf creation'? I'm pretty new to
Linux kernel development... :-(

I also have two other points concerning linux-vrf:
- I was able to ping all local IP adresses although they were not in the
same VRF -> not good
- there is only one arp table. shouldn't every VRF have it's own?

What do you think?

greetings,
-alex
