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....) 31
