Something I'd like to see which is unfortunatly network releated is ng_ip,
ng_tcp, and ng_udp netgraph modules.  Since the networking code already
exists (though it's probably got a number of layering violations in it
that would need to be sorted out) this would be more of an infrastructure
project then a networking project.  It would have things to measure
(comparative throughput and latency, for example.)  If these modules
were available, netgraph would become much more intresting as a basis
for network research (say building distributed simulators).  Later
researchers could add ng_tcp_reno, ng_tcp_vegas, or even ng_tca_daytona
(the messed up "accelerated" tcp which acks each byte seperatly.)
