<p>First, André Oppermann gave a status report on his current work
on the interface between the network stack and the drivers. He
is planning to publish a formal documentation on the
stack-driver boundary and split the <tt>ifnet</tt> structure
into separate, stack- and driver-owned section, finally all
drivers will be adjusted to this new world order, and call for
feedback will be posted to the respective mailing lists. This
change is being implemented in the <tt>projects/ifq</tt>
Subversion branch, supervised by Ed Maste on behalf of the &os;
Foundation as sponsor. In addition to that, André is close to
complete his TCP-AO work, and also working on moving the IPsec
code into a <tt>pfil(9)</tt>-based kernel module. Besides that,
Gleb Smirnoff came up with the problem of implementing a
lightweight reference counting to avoid dangling pointers and
Alexander Chernikov started a discussion on the routing
performance.</p>
