[Xorp-hackers] [Click] Fwd: [Xorp-users] click configuration under FreeBSD

[alan yang]

Thanks Eddie, for the info.

Another Q on Xory: while Xorp running under FreeBSD, is it a complete
replacement of the original FreeBSD routing code for static, multicast
routing for instance...?  If the case, how the packet flow looks like,
where could I start tracing... could you point some pointers...

Many thanks!
