| # Qpid Dispatch TODO List |
| |
| Beyond this simple laundry list, you can find the list of bugs and |
| enhancements at the [Qpid Dispatch JIRA instance](http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DISPATCH) |
| |
| - Router Mode |
| - Stand-Alone-Router - Does not participate in routing protocol, does not permit inter-router |
| links, acts as a normal interior-router otherwise. |
| - Interior-Router - Participates in the routing protocol |
| - 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: |
| - 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. |
| - Weight-{in,out}: Weight/Cost metrics for inter-router links |
| |
| - Statistics for Instrumentation: |
| - 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} |
| - Address |
| . deliveries {ingress, egress, transit} |
| . octets of delivery {ingress, egress, transit} |
| |
| - Infrastructure |
| - 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). |
| - 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. |
| - All PyRouter stimulus through a work queue. |
| - Router Code Updates |
| . Report address mappings to routers |
| . Generate RA immediately after updating routing tables |
| . Generate unsolicited updates for mobile addresses? |
| - Expose idle-timeout/keepalive on connectors and listeners |
| |
| - Major Roadmap Features |
| - Security Policy Enforcement |
| - Proxy (Translation Node) Capability |
| - Address Provisioning with variable semantics |
| - Management, Instrumentation, and Accounting |
| - Link Cost |
| - Area Routing |
