Hi Neel,

If you are brave enough to leave the (mostly) stateless domain of L3 packet=
 handling, and take on the challenge to tip your toes into the unforgiving =
realm of stateful L4 transport protocols, that would certainly be an area w=
here every helping hand counts.

E.g. Rod has recently found some quite dated Diffs, around TSO, which would=
 probably need some love (reviews and validation):=20

D6611
D6612
D6656

(There are many more semi-abandoned Diffs waiting on reviews.freebsd.org; a=
nd I also have a few Diffs for new functionality waiting for someone willin=
g to read into the RFCs and confirm that the code performs as intended, aro=
und RFC6675, ECN+/ECN++, ...)

If this is something for you, there are also biweekly transport calls happe=
ning (should be in your evening) - and anyone wanting to join is welcome.

Best regards,

Richard Scheffenegger

Hi freebsd-net@,

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this.

In case you were wondering, I am responsible for patches like r357092 (IPFW=
/libalias RFC6598, original idea), r363403 and r362900 (related to routing =
KPI, suggested by melifaro@).

However, despite my current accepted code, I am dry of ideas. At the same t=
ime, I'd love to work with kernel code, especially the network code.

Sadly, the Wiki is dreadfully out-of-date.

Is there any things I could work on in the FreeBSD networking stack? Any th=
ings you committers need help with?

Best,

Neel Chauhan
