Re: [Roll] rpl routing and linux-kernel

Hi,

Rahul, I watch the youtube video of ROLL session (thanks to Michael last mail to list) and I notice you ask about RPL implementations in linux kernel. About my kernel implementation attempt history, roadmap and status, please check https://github.com/joaopedrotaveira/linux-rpl/issues/1 <https://github.com/joaopedrotaveira/linux-rpl/issues/1>. There’s a link with my initial plan and my failures.

If we could try to make it happen, it would great. Send me your questions to my email or make presure on github repo. I just would like to move this subject to any other channel.

Abdussalam, I agree with Michael, there are discussions about this subject were they should be. And IMHO, I never leaved, I’m still here.

Best Regards,
João Pedro Taveira
