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
 |
