07:49:44 <nbjoerg> hm. I still have that 6 year old zero broadcast patch around
07:49:56 <nbjoerg> I wonder if I should push that one again...
07:51:23 <nbjoerg> https://www.netbsd.org/~joerg/no-zero-broadcast.diff <-- remove a relict from the ancient past
15:00:56 <danmcd> nbjoerg: SOmething like this it's always about comprehensive testing.
15:03:52 <nbjoerg> ack
15:04:22 <nbjoerg> this is essentially removing a workaround for a 4.3BSD network "feature"
15:04:42 <nbjoerg> I think illumos is one of the few systems still left with this restriction...
15:06:15 <danmcd> I know all about all-0s (And it goes back to 4.2 if not earlier).
15:07:16 <nbjoerg> I forgot why I hit this in 2016 and looked at it
15:07:42 <danmcd> I'm also curious if removing this *just might* allow /31 w/o further alterations?
15:08:13 <nbjoerg> you might need to still skip the regular broadcast in that case?
15:08:14 <danmcd> As of this moment, my /31 thoughts were to push it up into userspace, and then configure IFF_POINTOPOINT under the covers (which is how you actually deploy a /31 IPv4 on illumos today).
15:08:27 <danmcd> Doh, yes.  Sorry, just got up.
15:08:37 <danmcd> (My thoughts then still stand.)
15:08:56 <nbjoerg> that said, it should highlight most of the relevant cases to touch
15:09:17 <nbjoerg> is /31 still used?
