NetBSD Networking Roadmap
=========================
This is a small roadmap document, and deals with the networking
side of the operating system.
The following projects are expected to be included in NetBSD 6.0
8. SMP-aware Network Packet Filter
The following features are expected to be in future releases:
1. Mobile IPv6
2. SCTP
3. network driver polling
4. ALTQ processing on input
5. integrated multicast dns / zeroconf
6. tcp support in libsa
7. netboot from http
We'll continue to update this roadmap as features and dates get firmed up.
Some explanations
=================
2. SCTP
-------
Add support for the SCTP for both IPv4 and IPv6.
Responsible: TBD
3. network driver polling

Responsible: matt
4. ALTQ processing for input

5. multicast DNS / zeroconf
---------------------------
Add support for multicast DNS (name.local)
Responsible: tsarna
6. tcp support in libsa
-----------------------
Add a tiny tcp implementation to libsa.
Responsible: matt
7. http netbooting
------------------
Be able to use a HTTP server hosting a kernel and/or disk image as a
read-only root device.
Responsible: TBD
8. SMP-aware Packet Filter
--------------------------
A new packet filter which is SMP-aware has been written by rmind, as a
project funded by the NetBSD Foundation. zoltan has updated it for
IPv6, and various bits contributed by christos, dholland and martin.
This will be in 6.0
