2012-04-30	Cleanup in sysdep KRT code, part 2.	Ondrej Zajicek
	Remove support for historic Linux kernels, merge krt-iface, krt-set and krt-scan stub headers.
2012-04-30	Cleanup in sysdep KRT code, part 1.	Ondrej Zajicek
	OS-dependent functions renamed to be more consistent, prepared to merge krt-set and krt-scan headers. Name changes: struct krt_if_params -> struct kif_params struct krt_if_status -> struct kif_status struct krt_set/scan_params -> struct krt_params struct krt_set/scan_status -> struct krt_status krt_if_params_same -> kif_sys_reconfigure krt_if_copy_params -> kif_sys_copy_config krt_set/scan_params_same -> krt_sys_reconfigure krt_set/scan_copy_params -> krt_sys_copy_config krt_if_scan -> kif_do_scan krt_set_notify -> krt_do_notify krt_scan_fire -> krt_do_scan krt_if_ -> kif_sys_ krt_scan_ -> krt_sys_ krt_set_ -> krt_sys_
2011-03-28	Minor changes in addresses.	Ondrej Zajicek
	Mainly changes IA_UNNUMBERED to IA_PEER and adds IA_HOST. Also do not show broadcast addr in show interfaces. Nobody cares for that.
2010-11-11	Implements link state detection.	Ondrej Zajicek
	Also changes some symbol names (IFF_ADMIN_DOWN -> IFF_SHUTDOWN, IFF_LINK_UP -> IFF_ADMIN_UP).
2010-04-28	Better support for /31 networks.	Ondrej Zajicek

2008-11-21	This is bug, isn't it?	Ondrej Zajicek

2008-08-25	Fix behavior of ipa_opposite().	Martin Mares
	It was giving wrong results on /30 networks.
2004-05-31	*BSD port added. (Tested on FreeBSD and NetBSD)	Ondrej Filip

2000-06-01	Updated for new scope handling.	Martin Mares
	Also, provide proper address scopes in struct ifa.
2000-03-31	Include "lib/string.h" instead of <string.h>. It should give us bzero()	Martin Mares
	and other non-portable functions on all systems.
2000-03-12	Yet another LOCAL_DEBUG turned off.	Martin Mares

2000-02-29	Rewrote interface type detection logic. The `unnumbered' flag is now per	Martin Mares
	address, not per interface (hence it's ifa->flags & IA_UNNUMBERED) and should be set reliably. IF_MULTIACCESS should be fixed now, but it isn't wise to rely on it on interfaces configured with /30 prefix.
1999-12-16	Minor cleanups.	Martin Mares

1999-12-16	Handle cases when SIOCGIFINDEX is defined, but doesn't work (new glibc	Martin Mares
	with 2.0 kernels).
1999-12-16	Tried to clean up multicast handling. Now we don't try to guess	Martin Mares
	multicast abilities depending on definedness of symbols and use hard-wired system-dependent configuration defines instead. Please test whereever you can.
1999-08-03	Kernel route syncer supports multiple tables.	Martin Mares
	The changes are just too extensive for lazy me to list them there, but see the comment at the top of sysdep/unix/krt.c. The code got a bit more ifdeffy than I'd like, though. Also fixed a bunch of FIXME's and added a couple of others. :)
1999-08-03	Changes to interface handling on traditional Unices:	Martin Mares
	o Aliases are interpreted as secondary addresses. o When the system doesn't supply interface indices, generate our ones.
1999-05-06	I rewrote the interface handling code, so that it supports multiple	Martin Mares
	addresses per interface (needed for example for IPv6 support). Visible changes: o struct iface now contains a list of all interface addresses (represented by struct ifa), iface->addr points to the primary address (if any). o Interface has IF_UP set iff it's up and it has a primary address. o IF_UP is now independent on IF_IGNORED (i.e., you need to test IF_IGNORED in the protocols; I've added this, but please check). o The if_notify_change hook has been simplified (only one interface pointer etc.). o Introduced a ifa_notify_change hook. (For now, only the Direct protocol does use it -- it's wise to just listen to device routes in all other protocols.) o Removed IF_CHANGE_FLAGS notifier flag (it was meaningless anyway). o Updated all the code except netlink (I'll look at it tomorrow) to match the new semantics (please look at your code to ensure I did it right). Things to fix: o Netlink. o Make krt-iface interpret "eth0:1"-type aliases as secondary addresses.
1999-04-12	Ignore alias interfaces (some day, we will treat them as pure secondary	Martin Mares
	interface addresses).
1999-04-07	Portability fixes.	Martin Mares

1999-04-02	Fixed `too many interfaces' cases.	Martin Mares

1999-03-26	Moved to a much more systematic way of configuring kernel protocols.	Martin Mares
	o Nothing is configured automatically. You _need_ to specify the kernel syncer in config file in order to get it started. o Syncing has been split to route syncer (protocol "Kernel") and interface syncer (protocol "Device"), device routes are generated by protocol "Direct" (now can exist in multiple instances, so that it will be possible to feed different device routes to different routing tables once multiple tables get supported). See doc/bird.conf.example for a living example of these shiny features.
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.
