I will let James answer this question in detail. I don't relly know if it
is production ready or not. I have been using it for some time and it
looks quite solid, but there are some issues: a) when using RSVPD it is
much less stable. I have ot investigated if it is a kernel issue or a
daemon issues and b) during our work to port to 2.6 we have identified
some leaks in error paths that have not been backported to 2.4 (references
that are not released after a mem alloc fails etc).

Maybe someone with more experience may give you a better answer.
