NetBSD Networking Roadmap
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
This is a small roadmap document, and deals with the networking
|
|
side of the operating system.
|
|
|
|
NetBSD 5.0 will ship with the following networking 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 libsa
|
|
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:
|
|
|
|
2008 2009
