[Xorp-hackers] Thrift RPC support

[Dan Mihai Dumitriu]

Hi Ben,

Thanks for the quick reply.  I was just curious.

I don't necessarily think that Thrift is better than what is there
now.  However, I want to write an interface to the RIB in Java, so the
cross language issue came up.  Do you have any suggestion, other than
building it from scratch? :)

Cheers,
Dan
