Network Interface API Cleanup
The goal of this undertaking is to provide a clean separation between the network interfaces used by kernel and userland. This was attempted before but applications still include non-public interfaces.
The usage of the current network interfaces is being studied and this page will be updated as details are uncovered.
What will be done
- New network interface API and documentation will be created
- Appliactions that use the old interfaces will be modified and corresponding man pages will be updated as needed
