2 ~~~~
3 - configure: default CFLAGS?
4
5 - filters: deletion of mandatory attributes?
6 - filters: user defined attributes?
7 - filters: arithmetics and define'd symbols
8
9 - kernel: persistent mode
10
11 - cli: show tables?
12
13 - client: Ctrl-R eats one more enter
14 - client: paging?
15 - client: data losses on large dumps?
16
17 - table: ocassional core dumps in rt_prune()
18 - table: do feeding by parts
19
20 - bgp: timing of updates?
21 - bgp: dump and get_route_info
22
23 - proto: Don't show repeated `Changed state to ...' messages if only internal states change

25 Documentation
26 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
27 - write doctool
28 - write documentation :|
29
30 Globals
31 ~~~~~~~
32 - right usage of DBG vs. debug
33 - logging and tracing; use appropriate log levels
34 - check incoming packets and log errors!!
35 - check log calls for trailing newlines and log levels followed by comma
36 - check if all protocols set proper packet priorities and TTL's.
37 - try compiling with -Wunused
38 - does everybody test return value of sk_open?
39 - doc: references to RFC's we did follow
40 - protocols: implement CLI hooks and per-procotol CLI commands
41 - protocols: implement reconfigure hook
42 - protocols: use locking
43 - check use of system includes and sprintf()
44
45 Various ideas
46 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
47 - static: allow specifying a per-route filter program for setting route attributes?
48 - netlink: realms
49 - netlink: import Linux route attributes to our rta's, so that they can be filtered?
50 - config: executable config files
51 - client: access control
52 - io: use poll if available
53 - IPv6 router advertisements
54 - real multipath (doesn't seem to be simple at all :()
55 - fake multipath (even less simple)
56 - route recalculation timing and flap dampening [see RFC2439 for algorithms]
57 - aggregate engine: standard route aggregation and summarization [RFC2519]
58 - aggregate engine: injection of manually configured pseudo-static routes
59 - generate default route if any working BGP connection exists (aggregate engine again?)
60 - generate default route to IGP's (aggregate engine yet another time?)
61 - look at RFC 2386 (QoS-based routing)
62
63
64 OSPF
65 ~~~~
66 - refuse running on non-multicast devices
67 - importing of device routes for networks where we don't run OSPF
68 - check incoming packets using neighbor cache
69 - RFC2328 appendix E: Use a better algorithm
70 - automatic generation of external route tags (RFC1403)
71 - RFC1587 NSSA areas
72 - RFC2370 opaque LSA's
73 - respect interface MTU and try not to create larger packets unless unavoidable
