| Linus Torvalds | 1da177e | 2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700 | [diff] [blame^] | 1 | Steve's quick list of things that need finishing off: |
| 2 | [they are in no particular order and range from the trivial to the long winded] |
| 3 | |
| 4 | o Proper timeouts on each neighbour (in routing mode) rather than |
| 5 | just the 60 second On-Ethernet cache value. |
| 6 | |
| 7 | o Support for X.25 linklayer |
| 8 | |
| 9 | o Support for DDCMP link layer |
| 10 | |
| 11 | o The DDCMP device itself |
| 12 | |
| 13 | o PPP support (rfc1762) |
| 14 | |
| 15 | o Lots of testing with real applications |
| 16 | |
| 17 | o Verify errors etc. against POSIX 1003.1g (draft) |
| 18 | |
| 19 | o Using send/recvmsg() to get at connect/disconnect data (POSIX 1003.1g) |
| 20 | [maybe this should be done at socket level... the control data in the |
| 21 | send/recvmsg() calls should simply be a vector of set/getsockopt() |
| 22 | calls] |
| 23 | |
| 24 | o check MSG_CTRUNC is set where it should be. |
| 25 | |
| 26 | o Find all the commonality between DECnet and IPv4 routing code and extract |
| 27 | it into a small library of routines. [probably a project for 2.7.xx] |
| 28 | |
| 29 | o Add perfect socket hashing - an idea suggested by Paul Koning. Currently |
| 30 | we have a half-way house scheme which seems to work reasonably well, but |
| 31 | the full scheme is still worth implementing, its not not top of my list |
| 32 | right now. |
| 33 | |
| 34 | o Add session control message flow control |
| 35 | |
| 36 | o Add NSP message flow control |
| 37 | |
| 38 | o DECnet sendpages() function |
| 39 | |
| 40 | o AIO for DECnet |
