I think creating software support layer for network related packages
is good idea.
<br>
We've updated some of the recipes from OE Classic mentioned above
for our projects at Mentor Graphics.
<br>
We've been thinking to place these updated recipes in meta-oe layer.
But I think now that separate layer like meta-networking <br>
would be much more suitable place.
Also we've created some new packages like mipv6-umip or
multipath-tools <br>
that are good candidates for being placed in meta-networking.
<br>
<br>
So, I suggest Mentor Graphics would contribute to meta-networking.<br>
