37Various ideas
38~~~~~~~~~~~~~
85053fce 39- netlink: import Linux route attributes to our rta's, so that they can be filtered?
aee539f2 40- config: executable config files

MM
42- config: when parsing prefix, check zero bits
43- io: use poll if available

45- real multipath (doesn't seem to be simple at all :()
46- fake multipath (even less simple)
12be9b8c 47- route recalculation timing and flap dampening [see RFC2439 for algorithms]
dce26783 48- aggregate engine: standard route aggregation and summarization [RFC2519]
b5fe3dc2
MM
49- aggregate engine: injection of manually configured pseudo-static routes
50- generate default route if any working BGP connection exists (aggregate engine again?)
51- generate default route to IGP's (aggregate engine yet another time?)
dce26783 52- look at RFC 2386 (QoS-based routing)
