Missing Feature in 2.03 and 2.1-BETA: mpath

Hi,

I'm wondering that nobody seems to run in same problems here in the forum…

FreeBSD lacks in MultiPath feature... which can be good used by BGP and Quagga OSPF minimum:

I run into this problems when trying to establish quagga routing between our two offices over WLAN so I must used this workaround...

=> there seems already a patch applied for 8.2:

So why not activate it when compiling the kernel?

Thanks ;)

This feature would be nice to have, but iirc MultiPath doesn't work very well on FreeBSD 8.x …

mmh, hoped that OpenBSD/FreeBSD are not much different… and since multipath works also an Linux and even on Windows... :D

We have looked into that before but had issues with it. We may revisit it again once we're on FreeBSD 10.
