Given this, at this ti= me what is the favoured (virtual) interface type for host-only applications= where Linux network stack compatibility is required? Previously we used KN= I (we found this to be "unreliable" when not bound to a real ethdev). Is th= is still the best option? Cheers, Stephen PS: The reliability issues we saw were related to ARP. Manually adding an A= RP entry caused the entire board to lock up (i.e. hard reboot necessary). A= t the time, we got around this by not using ARP as we didn't really need it= . However, this likely won't be possible going into the future. -------------------------------------------------------------- Intel Shannon Limited Registered in Ireland Registered Office: Collinstown Industrial Park, Leixlip, County Kildare Registered Number: 308263 Business address: Dromore House, East Park, Shannon, Co.
