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.) -- Brooks --=20 Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
