[zebra 22959] Re: Want to Contribute !!!!!

Hi.

There are several tasks that should be done in this project ...
Below would be a part of the list (there would be more):

1. Summarize the known problems/bugs in the Zebra

  If the problems are well summarized with the description of 
  the source of the problem or what is observed in what circumstances,
  I can and will fix the problem. The list of problems/bugs is
  desired to be in the order of its priority. One can create
  such list by reading past zebra ML thoroughly.
  There would be some (many ? T_T) problems without any response
  and left ...

2. Create feature request list

  Also desired to be in the order of its importance.
  The next-step Zebra should proceed would be pthread-support.
  (Today CPU vendors widely use multi-core for parallel processing)
  I have heard that ospfd become too busy to handle HELLOs when
  it is ABR and has many summary-routes and many adjacencies.
  Those kind of problems should be resolved by scheduler design
  (actually it will be changes rather than design from scratch,
  as the zebra scheduler design is simple enough)

You should also check Quagga project (http://www.quagga.net/).

Please see also my unfinished page ...
http://zebra.sfc.wide.ad.jp/
I can add two more patches in the page: First is the old dampening
module used to be in ospf6d. It can be changed so that it can
support dampening of arbitrary tasks. Second is unfinished
pthread-support (not-tested, need more to work, experimentally
coded only in lib/thread.[ch]). If you're interested in.

regards,
yasu
