It's great if you have the time and energy to do this! Let me know if I
can be of any assistance with the ip6_tunnel.c modifications.
While designing the netlink interface it might perhaps be a good idea to
take a look at draft-ietf-ipv6-inet-tunnel-mib-02.txt, which is currently
in IESG processing. The IPv6 specific tunnel encapsulation limit (below)
is still missing from the draft but will be included in the RFC.
tunnelIfEncapsLimit OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX Integer32 (-1 | 0..255)
MAX-ACCESS read-write
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"The maximum number of additional encapsulations permitted
for packets undergoing encapsulation at this node. A value
of -1 indicates that no limit is present (except as a result
of the packet size)."
REFERENCE "RFC 2473, section 4.1.1"
::= { tunnelIfEntry 11 }
Regards,
Ville
