3Would be nice if:
4
5- Get the 802.1d tcpdump patch merged into Alexey's version.
6
7- Kernel driver (a la ipip and ip_gre) which encapsulates raw ethernet
8  frames in raw IP (proto 97) or UDP/IP packets.
9
10- Add address learning limiting (hard limit at a fixed # of
11  addresses? or maybe using rate markers?). There is a nasty DoS in
12  here.
13
14- Add fdb entry port # change limiting. For example: if one MAC
15  address switches port more than once in the same second, there is
16  something wrong (somebody trying to spoof?), so print a warning.
17
18- Faster port state cycling; currently it takes 30 seconds for ports
19  to cycle to the forwarding state.
20
21- Detect port speed and adjust path cost accordingly?
22
23- Use MII ioctls for detecting link beat lost quickly?
24
25- Keep the IEEE 802.1d-mandated statistics (counters, mostly).
26
27- Maybe integrate Kristian's GNOME frontend (see PROJECTS) once it
28  stabilises. It looks nice.
29
30- A cgi bridge configurer (a la Samba's SWAT, yummy....)
