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	o The if_change_too_big_p change was too high-spirited. Fixed.	Martin Mares
	o Introduced if_find_by_index() o Recognizing two types of interface updates: full update (starting with if_start_update(), ending with if_end_update(), guaranteed to see all existing interfaces) and a partial update (only if_update(), usually due to asynchronous interface notifications).
1999-03-02	Interface logic changes:	Martin Mares
	o Introduced IF_LINK_UP flag corresponding to real link state. o Allowed addressless interfaces. o IF_UP is now automatically calculated and set iff the interface is administratively up, has link up and has an IP address assigned. It may be IF_IGNORED, though (as in case of the loopback). o Any changes which include up/down transition are considered small enough to not provoke artificial upping and downing of the interface. o When an interface disappears (i.e., it wasn't seen in the last scan), we announce this change only once. o IF_LOOPBACK implies IF_IGNORE.
1999-02-13	config->router_id works again.	Martin Mares

1999-02-05	Synced kernel interface to new interface.	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.
1998-10-19	Use (SOCK_DGRAM,IPPROTO_IP) socket instead of (SOCK_STREAM,IPPROTO_TCP).	Martin Mares
	This is exactly what Linux ifconfig does and seems to be the preferred way.
1998-10-18	Split protocol init to building of protocol list and real protocol init.	Martin Mares
	Added kernel route table syncer skeleton.
1998-10-13	o There are cases when SIOCGIFINDEX is defined, but it doesn't work. When	Martin Mares
	this happens, don't reject the whole interface, just mark it as index 0. o Removed Pavel's comment about EFAULT and SIGSEGV. EFAULT is a valid return code for cases where the buffer is too small. o Commented out the smart interface list size logic temporarily as it seems Linux 2.0 SIOCGIFCONF doesn't react to ifc_req==NULL sanely. Replaced it by exponential stepping.
1998-10-13	Strange, on atrey ioctl() does not fill structure, and bird segfaults	Pavel Machek
	on it. Now we "only" die().
1998-06-01	Synced to new interface code.	Martin Mares

1998-05-26	Implemented scanning of network interfaces. Mostly very ugly code due to	Martin Mares
	terrible kernel interface (SIOGIFCONF and friends).
