After the kernel work, the Linux host software would be complete.  Hosts can use either user-space software or kernel software.  Thereafter, I will move to writing P4 code for the switch to send ML updates to the IPv6 hosts.

We have had a lot of support but in particular from a local Montreal company called “Noviflow” who are getting us licenses for tools and will send some of  their programmers to help us. So in fact they are “sponsoring” our hackaton. Would there be a way to thank them on the site? Actually this is going multi-way: as a IRTF co-chair and long time IETF collaborator as well as a Montreal native, I am trying to get more participation from Montreal-based companies and academic institutions in IETF/IRTF and Noviflow is frankly my first success story :)
