| Qpid Dispatch TODO List |
| ============================================================================== |
| Beyond this simple laundry list, you can find the list of bugs and |
| enhancements to be fixed by going to the Apache Qpid JIRA instance: |
| |
| http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID |
| ============================================================================== |
| |
| - Router Mode: |
| o Stand-Alone-Router - Does not participate in routing protocol, does not permit inter-router |
| links, acts as a normal interior-router otherwise. |
| o Interior-Router - Participates in the routing protocol |
| o Edge-Concentrator - Does not participate in routing protocol, requires uplink connection(s) |
| This mode should be used when Dispatch is integrated into an endpoint |
| application or when it is acting as a connection concentrator. |
| Proxy and access-protocol functions will be available in this mode. |
| |
| - Connection Annotation: |
| o Type: Inter-router, uplink, endpoint, etc. This formal annotation can be accessed internally |
| by the connection handlers to guide Dispatch's handling of new connections. |
| o Weight-{in,out}: Weight/Cost metrics for inter-router links |
| |
| - Statistics for Instrumentation: |
| o Link |
| . delivery count {unsettled, pre-settled} |
| . deliveries {accepted, rejected, released, modified} |
| . octets of delivery {accepted, rejected, released, modified} |
| . flow frame count |
| . disposition frame count {forward, backward} |
| o Address |
| . deliveries {ingress, egress, transit} |
| . octets of delivery {ingress, egress, transit} |
| |
| - Infrastructure |
| o Router_Link - Buffer and Iterator for a copy of the link's target address (for use |
| as an address for messages with no 'to' field). |
| o Router Event Queue - Event queue to feed alerts to the Python router code. |
| Neighbor-link-loss is a valuable event because it accelerates the |
| detection of topology change. |
| o All PyRouter stimulus through a work queue. |
| o Router Code Updates |
| . Report address mappings to routers |
| . Generate RA immediately after updating routing tables |
| . Generate unsolicited updates for mobile addresses? |
| o Expose idle-timeout/keepalive on connectors and listeners |
| |
| - Major Roadmap Features |
| o Security Policy Enforcement |
| o Proxy (Translation Node) Capability |
| o Address Provisioning with variable semantics |
| o Link Routing |
| o Management, Instrumentation, and Accounting |
| o Link Cost |
| o Area Routing |
