| + | ====== 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. | ||
