Subject: [PATCH v6 10/13] migrate: Update protocol to v3 for multi-address support
Date: Sat, 21 Mar 2026 20:43:30 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260322004333.365713-11-jmaloy@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260322004333.365713-1-jmaloy@redhat.com>
We update the migration protocol to version 3 to support distributing
multiple addresses from the unified address array. The new protocol
migrates all address entries in the array, along with their prefix
lengths and flags, and leaves it to the receiver to filter which
ones he wants to apply.
Signed-off-by: Jon Maloy <jmaloy@redhat.com>
---
v4: - Broke out as separate commit
- Made number of transferable addresses variable
v6: - Separated internal and wire transfer format
