1*4882a593SmuzhiyunSteve's quick list of things that need finishing off:
2*4882a593Smuzhiyun[they are in no particular order and range from the trivial to the long winded]
3*4882a593Smuzhiyun
4*4882a593Smuzhiyun o Proper timeouts on each neighbour (in routing mode) rather than
5*4882a593Smuzhiyun   just the 60 second On-Ethernet cache value.
6*4882a593Smuzhiyun
7*4882a593Smuzhiyun o Support for X.25 linklayer
8*4882a593Smuzhiyun
9*4882a593Smuzhiyun o Support for DDCMP link layer
10*4882a593Smuzhiyun
11*4882a593Smuzhiyun o The DDCMP device itself
12*4882a593Smuzhiyun
13*4882a593Smuzhiyun o PPP support (rfc1762)
14*4882a593Smuzhiyun
15*4882a593Smuzhiyun o Lots of testing with real applications
16*4882a593Smuzhiyun
17*4882a593Smuzhiyun o Verify errors etc. against POSIX 1003.1g (draft)
18*4882a593Smuzhiyun
19*4882a593Smuzhiyun o Using send/recvmsg() to get at connect/disconnect data (POSIX 1003.1g)
20*4882a593Smuzhiyun   [maybe this should be done at socket level... the control data in the
21*4882a593Smuzhiyun    send/recvmsg() calls should simply be a vector of set/getsockopt()
22*4882a593Smuzhiyun    calls]
23*4882a593Smuzhiyun
24*4882a593Smuzhiyun o check MSG_CTRUNC is set where it should be.
25*4882a593Smuzhiyun
26*4882a593Smuzhiyun o Find all the commonality between DECnet and IPv4 routing code and extract
27*4882a593Smuzhiyun   it into a small library of routines. [probably a project for 2.7.xx]
28*4882a593Smuzhiyun
29*4882a593Smuzhiyun o Add perfect socket hashing - an idea suggested by Paul Koning. Currently
30*4882a593Smuzhiyun   we have a half-way house scheme which seems to work reasonably well, but
31*4882a593Smuzhiyun   the full scheme is still worth implementing, its not not top of my list
32*4882a593Smuzhiyun   right now.
33*4882a593Smuzhiyun
34*4882a593Smuzhiyun o Add session control message flow control
35*4882a593Smuzhiyun
36*4882a593Smuzhiyun o Add NSP message flow control
37*4882a593Smuzhiyun
38*4882a593Smuzhiyun o DECnet sendpages() function
39*4882a593Smuzhiyun
40*4882a593Smuzhiyun o AIO for DECnet
