This is a small roadmap document, and deals with the networking
side of the operating system.
NetBSD 5.0 will ship with the following virtualization elements in
place:
1. Mobile IPv6
The following elements and projects are pencilled in for 5.0, but
please do not rely on them being there.
2. SCTP
3. network driver polling
The following projects are expected to be included in NetBSD 6.0
4. ALTQ processing on input
5. integrated multicast dns / zeroconf
6. tcp support in liba
7. netboot from http
We expect to branch for the 5.0 release in April or May 2008, which would
put a NetBSD 5.0 Release date in Q4 2008. An annual release cycle would
thus mean that 6.0 would be branched in April or May 2009.
Pictorially, this looks like:
