.B ivsa
is a standalone library for ipv6 address longest prefix match using an
interval dictionary.
Use this until the
.BR lpm (1)
.B retrie
implementation handles ipv6 addresses.
The code is currently AT&T PROPRIETARY, so don't propagate this outside of AT&T.
.B ivsa
requires the standalone
.B astsa
source package.
.P
To build libivsa.a read this package and
.B astsa
in the same directory and run:
.DS
make -f ivsa.omk
.DE
and to build the test harness and test the library run:
.DS
make -f ivsa.omk test
.DE
You may have to do some /bin/make plumbing on *.omk to get it to work
on your system.
If you already have the non-standalone libast installed
then you should be able to compile and link just the standalone ivsa
against it.
.P
The library interface is implemented in libivsa.a; include iv.h in your
source and link your a.out with libivsa.a. ivsa.omk (for old make) pulls
in standalone headers and source.
.L 'testiv --man'
lists the test harness man page on the standard error.
iv.3 is the api man page. See testiv.c for example api usage.

.B ivsa
is a subset of the {
.B "ast-base ast-dss"
} packages at
