Hi Wen, In my opinion a ICMP transport would share most of the code with UDP and therefore it would be a minor feature, not a 3 month, full-time project like GSoC requires. We welcome students to participate, feel free to browse our bugtracker to find other feature requests that might be more to the scale of GSoC (the core traffic levels might be one, maybe something related to multicast).
Happy hacking!
