(usagi-users 02623) Re: Routing Implementation

[Jedediah Ferguson <jed@xxxxxxxx>]

Thank You Yoshifuji Hideaki.

My intentions are nothing sinister, nor are they going to involve trying
to implement my own routing cache.  Simply, I am trying to understand
the the USAGI IPv6 implementation in contrast to the IPv4
implementation.  I find reading the code difficult with out a sense of
how components work together.  I apologize if my questions seem
sophomoric.

May I inquire why a routing cache was not implemented?  Is it not an
effective optimization?
