1999-03-03	Rewrote the kernel syncer. The old layering was horrible.	Martin Mares
	The new kernel syncer is cleanly split between generic UNIX module and OS dependent submodules: - krt.c (the generic part) - krt-iface (low-level functions for interface handling) - krt-scan (low-level functions for routing table scanning) - krt-set (low-level functions for setting of kernel routes) krt-set and krt-iface are common for all BSD-like Unices, krt-scan is heavily system dependent (most Unices require /dev/kmem parsing, Linux uses /proc), Netlink substitues all three modules. We expect each UNIX port supports kernel routing table scanning, kernel interface table scanning, kernel route manipulation and possibly also asynchronous event notifications (new route, interface state change; not implemented yet) and build the KRT protocol on the top of these primitive operations.
1999-03-02	Netlink module supports interface scan on startup. Working on more.	Martin Mares

1999-03-01	Implemented netlink protocol parsing functions. More to come tomorrow.	Martin Mares

1999-03-01	Added skeletal version of Linux netlink interface. It doesn't work yet,	Martin Mares
	but the framework is there and I'll try finish it soon.
1999-03-01	Use traditional Unix route/iface interface only when CONFIG_NETLINK	Martin Mares
	is not defined. Also moved declarations of Unix iface logic to krt.h.
1999-02-13	Squashed one bug in timing of route scans.	Martin Mares

1999-02-05	Synced Linux sysdeps to new interface.	Martin Mares

1998-12-20	die() -> bug() where appropriate.	Martin Mares

1998-12-08	Hopefully finished kernel syncer (krt) rewrite:	Martin Mares
	o Interface syncing is now a part of krt and it can have configurable parameters. Actually, the only one is scan rate now :) o Kernel routing table syncing is now synchronized with interface syncing (we need the most recent version of the interface list to prevent lots of routes to non-existent destinations from appearing). Instead of its own timer, we just check if it's route scan time after each iface list scan. o Syncing of device routes implemented. o CONFIG_AUTO_ROUTES should control syncing of automatic device routes. o Rewrote krt_remove_route() to really remove routes :) o Better diagnostics. o Fixed a couple of bugs.
1998-12-08	Rewritten kernel syncer. Now uses the rta trickery I've introduced yesterday	Martin Mares
	and does things "the right way". Few things are still missing (device routes etc.), I'll add them later in the evening.
1998-12-07	Comparison of kernel reject routes fixed.	Martin Mares

1998-12-06	Kernel syncer is now configurable. It will probably need some more	Martin Mares
	options, but at least basic tuning is possible now.
1998-10-20	Learn static device routes from the kernel (temporary until we can make	Martin Mares
	such things configurable).
1998-10-19	Basic kernel routing table syncing implemented. Learning of routes installed	Martin Mares
	by other programs or the kernel itself is not supported yet, but it's not needed for development of other protocols.
1998-10-19	We parse /proc/net/route and flag RT entries according to it. More to come	Martin Mares
	today in the morning...
1998-10-18	Since almost every UNIX system requires different techniques for reading	Martin Mares
	the kernel routing table as opposed to modifying it which is approximately the same on non-netlink systems, I've split the kernel routing table routines to read and write parts. To be implemented later ;-)
1998-05-15	The library is now glued together from generic and OS-dependent parts	Martin Mares
	by the `mergedirs' script. Few more IP address manipulation functions and some fixes.
1998-04-22	First look at data structures. More to come tomorrow...	Martin Mares
