-distro/packaging:
- - (issue) check why systemd doesn't let me set scheduler priority
- fixed for systemd unit file, LSB init + systemd still fails
- https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=893015
+The TODO list has moved to: https://trello.com/b/Aqq9xJfF/todo
-link/host level:
- - (issue) review RX thread error code related to guaranteed delivery
- (for ex when using SCTP)
- - (issue) investigate sock_notify_fn in thread_send_recv.c data delivery to app
- to better handle socket failures. In some cases we need/want to retry
- delivering to the application (sock overload?) and others the app
- need to close/remove the socket. I don't think we can automatically
- do the right thing without asking the app (sock_notify return code).
- - (issue) transports: review all error handling code failures,
- specially on clear_config, to not leak and better clean
- in case of errors
- - (issue) improve test suite to cover for all transports (needs transport list API)
- - (issue) change knet_bench to allow protocol specification per link
- - (issue) review memory locking across
- - (issue) simplify handling of DATA and HOSTINFO code paths in send/recv code
- - (issue) need bind to interface for dynamic ip local interfaces vs src ip
- address or find a way to autodetect the new ip on that interface
- (listen to kernel netlink?)
- - (issue) must implement link auth via user/passwd. This is necessary
- in case key is leaked.
- - (issue) standardize exit labels (ex out_unlock / exit_unlock) and variable/function
- names.
- - (issue) review how TX onwire pckt info are filled in between inbuf/socket/frags
- - (rfe) continue improving multinode TX code
- - (rfe) add fd_tracker error exit check and perhaps use it for local sockets too
- to make it easier to identify leaks and fd abuse
- - (rfe) link status callback notification
- - (rfe) compress: should only compress user data, we will add a bit in the data
- header to indicate if the pckt is compressed or not (save time).
- this approach allow runtime change of compress.
- open questions are: methods? level? zlib? lzo? bz? lzma? xz?
- how much do we save by compressin our header?
- compress must happen before encrypt
- we can express compress data in packet type without adding extra
- flags to the headers. DATA -> BZ/GZDATA and we can change that
- right before encrypting. Using a similar approach to PING_MASK
- - (rfe) crypto: expand API to support dual key for rekey process
- - (rfe) link id made optional? right now we need the link id to match
- on both sides of the connection. this is somewhat annoying
- from a user perspective. Evaluate if we can make it optional.
- - (rfe) make hostid autogenerated in a consistent way?
- - (rfe) Check IPV6_NEXTHOP for v6 sockets and find equivalent for v4 (Jesper?)
- this would allow using one IP address as destination via multiple links
- - (rfe) add statistics at different levels (pckt per host/link, bytes, crypto
- overhead, frame overhead, pure data...)
- - (rfe) link connection access-list
- (chrissie has working generic code for this one, needs merging and API)
- - (rfe) improve host-to-host communication. Right now I am not satisfied with
- the current implementation, even if it works.
- - (rfe) implement link switching via scoring system based on:
- 1) latency
- 2) priority (auto/manual)
- 3) usage (over XX% traffic start RR)
- 4) flapping of the links (time/sec)
- this requires complex rules setting and a super efficent way to look
- up destination links
- 5) if links are stable, reduce the number of links in a-a
- min 2
- - (rfe) benchmark tests for all critical paths in switching threads
- - (rfe) network convergence protocol (host exchange)
- - (rfe) reswitching of packets
- - (rfe) look into UDP+ECN bit set to avoid overloading sockets?
- - (rfe) add openssl support?
- - (rfe) consider adding threadpools to process data packets in parallel
+Please read https://trello.com/c/JQIRSPE2/1-how-to-use-this-board
-libknet:
- - (issue) review logging policy/levels in public api call
- example is scanning for active links in a host that would return
- a half gazzillion useless log entries
- - (issue) add .3 man pages
-
-libtap:
- - (issue) add .3 man pages
- - (issue) improve tests to cover thread safety and better error codes
- specially from the up/down handling.
- - (rfe) consider adding dhcp support for tap device
- it can be done now via up.d/ scripts, but it's not intuitive
-
-kronostnetd:
- - (issue) beside the code that is as bad as it can possibly be and
- will make you wish to have a tea spoon handy to carve your
- eyeballs out, the vty needs a good clean/rewrite
- - (issue) fix config file format. current one will make you scream
- - (issue) missing output from several command execution failures in vty mode
- - (issue) fix check_param for ip/prefix/crypto
- (this is part of the rewrite as it needs more clever arg parsing
- code/method)
- - (rfe) add logging config (per subsystem/global)
- - (rfe) split vty_cmd_files to be smaller. it's just too big to handle
- nicely.
- - (rfe) add equivalent of "description: ...." to various levels
- - (rfe) add optional options. right now it's necessary to specify everything
- all the time.
- - (rfe) implement tab completion on options
-
-general:
- - (issue) missing unit tests on many many bits
- - (issue) missing docs of all kind, devel, users, admin guide.
- - (rfe) check code with coverity
