Stephen,
I apologize for the last patch I sent not applying cleanly to the latest
iproute2 sources. I realized that this might impede any
review/acceptance of the patch and created a separate patch against the
20060323 build of iproute2, which seems to be the latest (by looking at
the website).
The previous patch wouldn't apply cleanly due to the label of the
ssthresh argument being corrected from REALMS to NUMBER.
Please let us know if there is any other information or assistance we
can be with this patch submission.
Thanks
Vince

addresses. Specifically it does not correctly handle the addition of
new entries in the neighbor/arp table. For example, this command will
fail:
ip neigh add 192.168.0.138 lladdr

An IPoIB link layer address is 20-bytes (see
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ipoib-ip-over-infiniband-09.txt,
section 9.1.1).
The command line parsing code expects link layer addresses to be a
maximum of 16-bytes. Addresses over 16-bytes are truncated.
It fixes flush feature for IPsec(ip xfrm).
Jamal gave me comment about it. I've tested it on 2.6.11.7.
Please find the log below, check code and pull it:

ChangeSet@1.182, 2005-04-13 21:19:44+09:00, nakam@linux-ipv6.org
[ip] add "deleteall" command for xfrm;
"flush" uses kernel's flush interface and
"deleteall" uses legacy iproute2's flush feature like
getting-and-deleting-for-each.
