====== Networking session ======

For now just a braindump of ideas.  Should add more details.  Feel free to do so yourself.  Remember, we only have about 3 half days (and perhaps an evening or two).

We can pick one possibly two topics depending on number of people:

  - sketch up more details of the new link-layer and start to prototype
  - look in more details at Jeff's previous mbuf branches [[http://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/projects/jeff_mbuf/|jeff_mbuf]] and [[http://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/projects/jeff_mbuf2/|jeff_mbuf2]], as well as the [[DevSummit/201205]] notes and start a prototype
  - related to all this, look at factoring out code from network drivers into a common library
  - ...

Possibly more ideas:

  - if it will otherwise happen, plot the network stack rmlocks and prototype
  - finish stats gathering, libnetstat, and related (should be a quick discussion and a 1-2 person project to finish)
  - [[https://github.com/pgj/mirage-kfreebsd|Mirage/kFreeBSD]]
  - implement ''%%PFIL_TYPE_IFNET%%'' for ''%%pfil(9)%%'' and rebase ''%%ng_ether(4)%%'' on the top of this.
  - ...
