[Olsr-dev] [RFC] [PATCH v1 0/7] keep track of the active gateways in a list

[Ferry Huberts]

From: Ferry Huberts <(spam-protected)>

Review and comments are requested.

This patch series modifies the gateway code so that we now keep the active
gateway(s) (1 for the current situation) in an ordered (on costs) list.

This is the basis for working towards enablement of multi-gateway functionality
as discussed earlier on the dev mailing list by Teco and me. We are working
towards that.

The advantage of having multiple gateways active at the same time is that we
avoid breaking connections because running connections via gateway 1 will not
be terminated when we pick gateway 2 as the new default gateway (as long as
gateway 1 doesn't disappear).



Ferry Huberts (7):
  gateway: store current gateway(s) in a struct
  gateway: lazily allocate the current gateway structs
  gateway: add path_cost to 'set gateway' interface
  gateway: add interface to get the gateway costs
  gateway: simplify by using the new costs interface
  gateway: add gateway_list.{c,h}
  gateway: keep track of the active gateways in a list
