THIS LIST IS FAR AWAY FROM BEING COMPLETE, so these are the few things
that came up at the right moment to be written down.
* Experimental kernel MFC (*,G) related:
If the (S,G) iif or oifs are different from the (*,G) or (*,*,RP)
iifs/oifs, the resp. (*,G) or (*,*,RP) will delete and disallow
creating (*,G) MFC. Only after all MRT (S,G) are deleted, the
corresponding (*,G) or (*,*,RP) will create (*,G) MFC.
* Experimental kernel MFC (*,G) related:
Right now when the MFC (*,G) total datarate is above the SPT switch
threshold, the (*,G) MFC will be deleted, and any further cache miss
will result in (S,G) MFC (the problem is that we must do (S,G)
monitoring for eventually high datagate sources). Only after all
(S,G) MFCs expire, the daemon's MRT will stop creating (S,G) MFCs
(i.e. the next cache miss will result in (*,G) kernel MFC).
A better selection should be applied to sort out the higher
datarate sources, and at the same time to have (*,G)MFC as well.
For example, create few (S,G), and after that create the (*,G). If some
of the created (S,G) MFC entries have very low datarate, delete them.
* Use NetBSD's definition for IPADDR (netinet/in.h):
#ifdef _KERNEL
#define __IPADDR(x) ((u_int32_t) htonl((u_int32_t)(x)))
#else
#define __IPADDR(x) ((u_int32_t)(x))
#endif
* The (S,G)RPbit in the DR for the sender and the (S,G)SPT in the
downstream router won't timeout and will refresh each other even
if the sender is not active:
S--DR-----------------R1------------RP
(S,G)RPbit (S,G)
iif toward S
* Check whether the kernel code sends CACHE_MISS and WRONG_IIF for
the LAN-scoped addresses
* If the RP for a group changes, the DR should cancel any PIM-register-stop
timers (XXX: not in the spec, but should be there)
* If a new interface is configured, include it automatically
* Don't create routing entries for local link scoped groups
* Implement adm. scoped filters
* Do precise check of the timer events to speed up the propagation of the
Cand-RP messages + Cand-BSR messages and the election of the BSR.
* Fix the bug for messing up the things when the receiver is on the
same host as the RP for the multicast group (probably was fixed with alpha6,
because I cannot reproduce it anymore)
* Do more precise error check for the received PIM messages. In most cases,
the whole message must be parsed completely before starting processing it.
* Clean up the debugging messages.
* Use Patricia tree to search the routing table
(There is a nice paper in Sigcomm '97 about fast routing tables
implementation, so need to check it as well)
* Do switch back to the Shared Tree by timing out the SPT if the rate
is too low (not in the spec, but Ahmed pointed out some complications if
this happens)
* Change all countdown timers to events timeout (callout.c)
(The current implementation is very unefficient if the routing table becomes
very large)
* Send immediately Join/Prune, instead of relying of Join/Prune timer = 0
* Fix the code allowing interface UP/DOWN without restarting pimd.
* Do more testings for SPT switch, Join/Prune, asserts, etc...
* Test the (*,*,RP) code (need PIM/DVMRP border router to do so)
* Test the RSRR (RSVP support) code
* Send Initial_Reply RSRR message if the interfaces detected by pimd change
* SNMP support
===TODO by function name===
igmp_proto.c:
* accept_group_report():
- add a leaf if DR or forwarder (currently only if DR)???
* accept_leave_message():
- send immediately PIM prune message if the last member has left
main.c
* main():
- use a combination of time and hostid to initialize the random generator.
* restart():
- check the implementation
pim_proto.c
* pim_register():
- IF THE BORDER BIT IS SET, THEN FORWARD THE WHOLE PACKET FROM USER SPACE
AND AT THE SAME TIME IGNORE ANY CACHE_MISS SIGNALS FROM THE KERNEL.
* register_stop():
- REGISTER_STOP rate limiting
route.c
* process_cache_miss()
- use negative cache.
rp.c
* add_rp_grp_entry():
- FIX THE BUG when adding an RP for different prefix requires remapping
for some groups!!!
(Intentionally left, waiting to come up with an idea how to implement
it simple and efficient. If you configure all RPs to advertise the
same prefix, the bug won't "show up")
================DONE=====================
* When receive PIM_REGISTER, check whether I am the chosen RP
