====== Timeline ======

==== June ====
  * 24 June - Implement the UDP/IPv4 modules based on the new TX and RX datapath. The sub-tasks involved here are:
    - <del>Define a gPXE UDP API similar to the the gPXE TCP API</del>
    - <del>Define a UDP connection</del>
    - Implement the API functions //(working on it)//
    - Define the interface between the transport and network layers //(working on it)//
    - Implement IPv4 functions: ''reassembly'', ''rx_process'', ''transmit'', etc.
    - Write a tester function
    - Debug and test!

  Milestone: we should be able to send a "hello, world" message over
  UDP/IPv4/Ethernet to a listening connection and receive some response.

==== July ====

  * 10 July - Build TCP support into gPXE. The sub-tasks((Right now, I am not too sure what the exact sub-tasks involved are. I will revise this page as things become more clear.)) involved here are:
    - Revise the transport-network layer interface
    - Implement the TCP state machine

  Milestone: we should be able to build gPXE with TCP support over IPv4

  * 20 July - Investigate IPv6 support. Discuss the implementation. Sub-tasks are:
    - Read the relevant RFCs and understand IPv6 requirement thoroughly
    - Make mofidications to the network interfaces if necessary
    - Discuss the implementation on E-D

  * 30 July - Implement essential IPv6 support

  Milestone: we should be able to build UDP and TCP over IPv6 and test is sucessfully

==== August ====

  * Buffer and wrap-up period. Clean the code. Debug and document it.
