Hi All,
Naive question of the day:
I'm trying to cut down the size of a 3.3 kernel and one thing I have noticed is the TCP/IP v6 can be built as a module, but v4 cannot. Is there any particular reason for this, or is it simple a case of nobody has gone to the effort of modularising the v4 networking components?
IMHO it's mostly a matter of lack of modularitation (or we could say lack of deeper code refactoring too). Almost all of networking stack in Linux that I know (Novell's I-forgot-the-name, token-ring, Mac I-forgot-too) are switchable. -- regards, Mulyadi Santosa Freelance Linux trainer and consultant blog: the-hydra.blogspot.com training: mulyaditraining.blogspot.com
