Hi all,

hey some activity on this ML;)

Well as far as i can see, this project seems very interesting but there is no much
visibility from the outside world. The framework seems very good to me, i haven't dig
the code much, but i would potentially interested to see this further. 

I have some general questions on the way you the project going:

- how well is the C++ code you write fit the embedded world (as i said i haven't look at
the code, but i would not like to see too much of run-time operations (dyncasts for expl),
as well as exceptions as well as too much encapsulation which lead to too much dead code
(expl: only use pointers and no references to avoid to have too much copy constr. etc..) 
??

- I think the project could fill a gap in what's on the open source market now:  a real 
router environement that could be the core of a router distro (based on linux or BSD or
whatever), as you state that the project's main interest is to have some open and deployed
infrastructure for network proto testing and improvement. Where do you see the boundaries of
the project, or what's the main type of router you want to see developped ? (i just say that
because routing protocols seems to be the central point around the developement which is
for exemple useless in the most classical open source router aka gateways..).

Cheersm
