| - Policy based routing. Routing decisions are made on the basis |
| not only of destination address, but also source address, |
| TOS and incoming interface. |
| - Complete set of IP level control messages. |
| Now Linux is the only OS in the world complying to RFC requirements. |
| Great win 8) |
| - New interface addressing paradigm. |
| Assignment of address ranges to interface, |
| multiple prefixes etc. etc. |
| Do not bother, it is compatible with the old one. Moreover: |
| - You don't need to do "route add aaa.bbb.ccc... eth0" anymore, |
| it is done automatically. |
| - "Abstract" UNIX sockets and security enhancements. |
| This is necessary to use TIRPC and TLI emulation library. |
| |
| NEWS for hacker. |
| |
| - New destination cache. Flexible, robust and just beautiful. |
| - Network stack is reordered, simplified, optimized, a lot of bugs fixed. |
| (well, and new bugs were introduced, but I haven't seen them yet 8)) |
| It is difficult to describe all the changes, look into source. |
| |
| If you see this file, then this patch works 8) |
