Hello,
Thanks for your answer.
I try this :
send_tcp_open_and_bind("fea",_rtr.instance_name(),NULL,NULL,cb)

But I get this error :
InvalidString from line 77 of ipv4.cc -> Null value
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'InvalidString'
[ 2009/03/21 16:11:41  ERROR xorp_rtrmgr:14823 RTRMGR +1405 task.cc 
execute_done ] 210 Transport failed

:(
Best regards,
Michael
