Heyhey ... I have already replied to Wen to discuss the topic. IMHO it is a suitable topic for a 3 month project in particular since the design process requires some preliminary work to fix a the protocol used not focusing on just hacking.
This is in particular true when a student is doing such a project who has to familiarize with the existing code and the existing functionality. Therefore I think this is a very suitable project. I would prefer to have a well-designed and documented approach instead of having a complex project requiring a student to just "hack" on a gazillion line of code for 3 month ... -M On Thu, 2015-03-19 at 20:09 +0100, Bart Polot wrote: > 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.
