Steve's quick list of things that need finishing off:
|
[they are in no particular order and range from the trivial to the long winded]
|
|
o Proper timeouts on each neighbour (in routing mode) rather than
|
just the 60 second On-Ethernet cache value.
|
|
o Support for X.25 linklayer
|
|
o Support for DDCMP link layer
|
|
o The DDCMP device itself
|
|
o PPP support (rfc1762)
|
|
o Lots of testing with real applications
|
|
o Verify errors etc. against POSIX 1003.1g (draft)
|
|
o Using send/recvmsg() to get at connect/disconnect data (POSIX 1003.1g)
|
[maybe this should be done at socket level... the control data in the
|
send/recvmsg() calls should simply be a vector of set/getsockopt()
|
calls]
|
|
o check MSG_CTRUNC is set where it should be.
|
|
o Find all the commonality between DECnet and IPv4 routing code and extract
|
it into a small library of routines. [probably a project for 2.7.xx]
|
|
o Add perfect socket hashing - an idea suggested by Paul Koning. Currently
|
we have a half-way house scheme which seems to work reasonably well, but
|
the full scheme is still worth implementing, its not not top of my list
|
right now.
|
|
o Add session control message flow control
|
|
o Add NSP message flow control
|
|
o DECnet sendpages() function
|
|
o AIO for DECnet
|
