Thomas Graf wrote: I've been thinking about this since yesterday and the best solution I came up so far is to encode it in one of the yet unused bits in the prefixlength field. After all we're only using 5bits of it. What i'm thinking of in particular is to encode it as in 1 bit wildcard flag 5 bits prefix length. I think that would be ok. Unrelated to this: for IFA_ADDRESS we don't do an exact match, perhaps we should also do this for IFA_LOCAL for consistency. Regards Patrick |
