Missing Feature in 2.03 and 2.1-BETA: mpath

[Reiner030]

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:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-net/2011-April/028658.html

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.
