as otherwise platforms with strict alignment would break. It's unclear
to me if there's also a problem with access to the address list following
the structure. However we never copied the address list after the structure
and thus are pointing at random memory. For now just use a pointer to the
original memory for accessing the address list making it at least work on
platforms with weak memory access.

interfaces like IFT_ETHER interfaces when handling link layer addresses.

Instead of constantly calling the mibII_idle function when the server is not busy
call the function only once every 10 seconds to avoid bsnmpd constantly doing
gettimeofday syscalls. Make the idle polling interval confugurable via
begemotIfDataPoll.

alignment requirement, while rt_msghdr has a 4 byte alignment
requirement. The root cause is that if_msghdr has an struct if_data
which has an 8-byte alignment requirement due to a time_t that's
embedded in it. On MIPS, time_t is a 64-bit number, so must be 64-bit
aligned.
Since we don't access ifm_data.ifi_epoch, a simple cast is all that's
necessary here. It is likely the case that ifi_epoch should *NOT* be
a time_t because it is an uptime (time delta) an not an absolute time
since 1970. u_long is likely sufficient there since that gives an
uptime of 136 years will suffice for the foreseeable future.
1. separating L2 tables (ARP, NDP) from the L3 routing tables
2. removing as much locking dependencies among these layers as
possible to allow for some parallelism in the search operations
3. simplify the logic in the routing code,
The most notable end result is the obsolescent of the route
cloning (RTF_CLONING) concept, which translated into code reduction
in both IPv4 ARP and IPv6 NDP related modules, and size reduction in
struct rtentry{}. The change in design obsoletes the semantics of
RTF_CLONING, RTF_WASCLONE and RTF_LLINFO routing flags. The userland
applications such as "arp" and "ndp" have been modified to reflect
those changes. The output from "netstat -r" shows only the routing
entries.
Quite a few developers have contributed to this project in the
past: Glebius Smirnoff, Luigi Rizzo, Alessandro Cerri, and
Andre Oppermann. And most recently:
- Kip Macy revised the locking code completely, thus completing
the last piece of the puzzle, Kip has also been conducting
active functional testing
- Sam Leffler has helped me improving/refactoring the code, and
provided valuable reviews
- Julian Elischer setup the perforce tree for me and has helped
me maintaining that branch before the svn conversion
