A customer wants to use nd_tbl in his kernel module, the easiest way is to export nd_tbl, just as arp_tbl. There were some requests to export nd_tbl, like: http://marc.info/?l=netfilter-devel&m=111416950824614&w=2 http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=110715893206991&w=2 But they were all rejected. I want to know the reason why can't nd_tbl be exported just as arp_tbl, and how can we look up nd_tbl without exporting it. thanks Weiping Pan Signed-off-by: Weiping Pan <panweiping3@gmail.com> --- net/ipv6/ndisc.c | 1 + 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
