[Xorp-hackers] New consolidated Xorp performance improvement patch uploaded.

[Bruce M Simpson]

Ben,

Thanks for this.

I'm afraid we can't take it as is, but, Pavlin has made some changes to 
the FEA which fix a number of bugs, and which may address some of the 
issues you were seeing.

The RTA_TABLE stuff looks interesting and useful, do you plan to forward 
port this to the HEAD revision?

The RIB shouldn't really be setting the admin distance for static_routes 
at all.

Please see OLSR for an example of a protocol which registers its admin 
distance with the RIB using an XRL during startup.

P.S. __PRETTY_FUNCTION__ is gcc specific. I've been looking at it for 
some debugging stuff, but we would discourage its use in the main code 
base -- it really needs to be guarded with a macro.
