Re: Some thoughts on 240/4

Valdis,

More code, more regression testing, same number of programmers. Do the math.

Take it as a given that it *will* slip the schedule some amount, because the resources for a 240/4 feature will have to come from somewhere. So how much slippage are you willing to accept?

Let's not go too far here. As Vince pointed out, the work required is fairly minimal. It's not nothing. Particularly in IOS we do a parser check for Bogons, and this is done in other platforms as well. But still- the code involved is typically removing an entry from one or several tables. Regression will vary by platform, but that usually isn't done on a feature by feature case, and so the costs are not linear as you suggest. Eliot
