Proposed AROS Bounty: Updated TCP/IP Stack

[dammy]

Terminills has proposed a bounty to update the AROS TCP/IP stack: http://aros-exec.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?start=0&topic_id=8357&viewmode=flat&order=ASC&type=&mode=0

Requirements:


IPv4 (all core features)
IPv6 (all non-crypto core features)
UDP and TCP protocols. SCTP etc. are optional.

Multicast support
compatible with bsdsocket.library

Suggested by Deadwood:

- must be based on AROS-compatible license (BSD, MIT, etc)
- must be able to use existing drivers API at least for IPv4 mode

Resource 68k Roadshow then manually convert each line of code to C?

I would like to see input from as many people as possible before we finalize what the bounty says.

i think most are fine with it being pure aros bounty, me included, one can include os3/68 port if necessary so os4 and mos users can try it out at last before deciding if they need it too.

edit: just in case this is interesting for anyone, jens prepares an edition of a new fast zorro lan card, so mayme anybody has an idea if this bears any opportunity, like an example of a driver for instance- (cooperation might popularize aros among amiga users a little)

Couldn't we just keep it simple and say the end product feature list should be a clone of Roadshow's features?

Add IPv6 and we have a deal lol.

As I said on aros-exec the matching is on hold till after xmas

but hopefully we can push it up anyway.

Speaking of Roadshow, how about a bounty for Olsen to opensource it?

Then the genuine Amiga OS and it's three clones could all standardise on the one codebase.

Just a thought anyway.

Blimey that generous.  I hope it's tax deductible as a charitable donation!
