[Linux-vrf-general] linux-vrf 0.900 is released

[James R. L. <jl...@mi...>]

This release moves to kernel 2.6.8.1. It also does away with the 'vrfadm'
util and uses netlink exclusively for configuration. The release re-organizes
the handling of UDP and TCP sockets. The result is that less code had to be
changed, which will hopefully correspond to less bugs. It also attempts to
'filter' information presented to processes that are associated to non-zero
VRFs.

By using the 'chvrf' utility any process can be run 'in' a VRF. The
aforementioned filtering will only allow the process to 'see' routes and
interfaces that are assigned to the same VRF.

This release also has the first attempt at adding VRF support to IPv6. It's
not complete, but it compiles and does not break when adding IPv6 addresses.

Goto http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=37027&package_id=29310&release_id=271116 to see the files available with this release.  All RPMS
are created for a Fedora Core 2 system.
