[Babel-users] paralysis

[Christof Schulze]

>(why is there a 20 interface limit in kernel_netlink.c?), but
Why indeed? I am hoping to run babeld with >150 interfaces soonish.
Of course I can adjust the define but I'd rather have this limitation 
understood than just fiddling with it.

Well I think it is time to consolidate all the different patchsets 
again. Frankly I have lost it somewhere between trees, skiplists and 
timerwheels in your many and greatly appreciated attempts to get babel 
to scale better.
