I was wondering if there is a FreeBSD group working on an ATM API for FreeBSD, and if so how I could go about joining and contributing to the devlopment of the API. I am also working on my own transport protocol (as part of my PhD thesis) that routes packets between the (currently ethernet) interfaces of a FreeBSD machine using explicit rate feedback to the sources to tell them what rate to transmit it(similar in concept to the ATM Forum's ABR standard). I understand that Linux has a group that is working on a specially optimized kernel for use in routing machines, and I was wondering if there is a similar FreeBSD group. Regards, David Lapsley.
