MBUFS Very little, although we would like to do a lot more if only we had the time and energy. > 2. Routing and the radix tree code There is significant on-going work in this area.

If there's anything you want to ask about in particular, I'd be happy to talk about it either e-mail or voice. > 3. The general framework for adding other network subsystems > in FreeBSD 2.0.
