[HECnet] HECnet mapping project

[Rob Jarratt]

Hello Stuart,
  
Yes we did try and in fact it revealed an important bug which is fixed. What we failed to resolve, as I recall, was an apparent problem with some adjacencies yo-yoing up and down. I too was having a similar problem at the time, but that turned out to be a bad switch I had on my network, the adjacency is pretty solid now. I would be very happy to try again. Please download the latest from CodePlex (route20.codeplex.com) and build it. Someone has also told me it won   t compile on FreeBSD so I am going to see if I can fix that too.
  
Regards
  
Rob

I have just downloaded the spec and will think about how easy it would be to   add this to the router, not that anyone other than me uses it :-(
  
Well, I tried pretty hard (with you) to get it working, but it really wasn't happy, was it?
  
I'm game for some more diagnostics if you fancy?
