====== 28 July 2016 Hangout ======

  * Reviewed items from last meeting:
    * The long fixes will be committed once we hit 11.0 RC builds
    * gnn still needs to get Mike Karels on the call
    * Hiren has uploaded the BSDCan notes
    * rstone posted review for QLogic fix; waiting for maintainer. rstone will inform re@ so they can take appropriate action for 11.0.
    * Still need to figure out how to share pcap files. 
      * (last status: gnn will look at how CAIDA scrubs pcaps.  pcaps will be shared in the Wiki and Bugzilla)
    * Performance Oriented Congestion Control (PCC): no update 
    * Share the host cache among hosts: no update
    * More work needs to be done to improve the route cache based on the stats: no update
    * We need an overall design for sharing TCP information among several consumers in the kernel: no update
    * ip6_output() always calls the TCP host cache?
      * TCP fix: **Please review**: [[https://reviews.freebsd.org/D7272|D7272]]
      * Other protocols? tuexen will fix SCTP, if necessary, during work on PMTU discovery.
    * rstone and Macy are trying to make tcp_output() not hold the INP lock for as long as we do currently: in progress; currently blocked on a firewall case
    * callout code bugs/improvements
      * **Please review**: locking improvement suggested by rrs: [[https://reviews.freebsd.org/D7136|D7136]]

  * rstone working on fixing in_broadcast(). Currently does not lock the ifnet address list; however, a lock is impractical because this function is called in a critical path.
    * Output path: use the information from the route.
      * **Please review**: [[https://reviews.freebsd.org/D7266|D7266]]
    * Input path: assume that packets sent to an L3 broadcast address will always be sent to an L2 broadcast/multicast address. (Is this assumption safe??? On the call, there was a suggestion to condition the change with a sysctl.)
