3NetBSD Networking Roadmap
4=========================
5
6This is a small roadmap document, and deals with the networking
7side of the operating system.
8
9The following projects are expected to be included in NetBSD 6.0
10
111. Mobile IPv6
122. SCTP
133. network driver polling
144. ALTQ processing on input
155. integrated multicast dns / zeroconf
166. tcp support in libsa
177. netboot from http

19The timescales for 6.0 are not known at the present time, but we would
20expect to branch 6.0 late in 2009, with a view to a 6.0 release in
21early 2010.

23We'll continue to update this roadmap as features and dates get firmed up.
