| Would be nice if: |
| |
| - Get the 802.1d tcpdump patch merged into Alexey's version. |
| |
| - Kernel driver (a la ipip and ip_gre) which encapsulates raw ethernet |
| frames in raw IP (proto 97) or UDP/IP packets. |
| |
| - Add address learning limiting (hard limit at a fixed # of |
| addresses? or maybe using rate markers?). There is a nasty DoS in |
| here. |
| |
| - Add fdb entry port # change limiting. For example: if one MAC |
| address switches port more than once in the same second, there is |
| something wrong (somebody trying to spoof?), so print a warning. |
| |
| - Faster port state cycling; currently it takes 30 seconds for ports |
| to cycle to the forwarding state. |
| |
| - Detect port speed and adjust path cost accordingly? |
| |
| - Use MII ioctls for detecting link beat lost quickly? |
| |
| - Keep the IEEE 802.1d-mandated statistics (counters, mostly). |
| |
| - Maybe integrate Kristian's GNOME frontend (see PROJECTS) once it |
| stabilises. It looks nice. |
| |
| - A cgi bridge configurer (a la Samba's SWAT, yummy....) |
