We are still working on our implementation and are hoping to release the source code into the public domain at some point down the line. One problem we have is that because the async stuff Steven has implemented was not originally in XORP we have implemented our prototype using the original XORP code. This means that if we wanted to fully integrate it into XORP properly, we will have the issue of porting the code to the new style of coding. We will be looking at this further down the line and depending on the project time constraints, we will see if we can integrate it in a nice manner within the XORP code tree as I believe it would be a nice addition to have in there. Obviously it would be better overall for us to release the code within XORP rather than releasing our branch separately. We will be in touch a bit further down the line and let you know how we progress with these issues.
