M. Watson */ + +--- TODO --- + +(1) netipx default socket buffer sizes are very small by contemporary + standards, and should be increased following testing and measurement. + +(2) SPX will free the PCB and socket buffer memory on close(), which means + close() in effects terminates the transfer of any outstanding buffered + but unsent data. As with TCP, it should instead grab its own + reference to the socket so that it is not released, as hold onto it + until the data transfer is complete. + +(3) Raw socket capture of IPX output intercepts packets in the SPX output + routine in order to feed them back into the raw socket. This results + in recursion into the socket code in the transmit path; instead, + captured packets should be fed into a netisr that reinjects them into + raw sockets from a new (asynchronous) context. + +(4) IPX over IP encapsulation needs work to make it properly MPSAFE. |
