If you have some opinions on that issue, please write suggested features together with several sentences about why you think that is the feature we should implement or why you need that. This inquiry is oriented on long-term, major features, but if you have some minor requests, you are also welcome. Our current short-term plan is to fix RIP (and multipath for RIP) and implement Route Origin Authorization / RPKI drafts for BGP. Some examples: OSPF NSSA OSPF opaque LSAs .. or some other OSPF extensions BGP confederations BGP extended communities .. or some other BGP extensions MRT routing table dumps Some monitoring/statistics integration (SNMP, collectd ...) Route aggregation engine Static routes depedent on ping reachability BFD (Bidirectional Forwarding Detection) IS-IS Some ad-hoc wireless routing like OSPF MANET or OLSR Multicast routing? .. or perhaps no new big features, just some more work to already implemented areas? BTW, from these examples, my personal preference is currently on BFD. -- Elen sila lumenn' omentielvo Ondrej 'SanTiago' Zajicek (email: santiago@crfreenet.org) OpenPGP encrypted e-mails preferred (KeyID 0x11DEADC3, wwwkeys.pgp.net) "To err is human -- to blame it on a computer is even more so."
