Re: Would like to work on "Hurdish TCP/IP stack" gsoc project

[Da Zheng]

Hi Sushil,

I'm glad we can have more Hurd developers:) I think I can give some technical
help, but I'm not sure what is the goal of the project. I forward your email to
the mailing list, so we can talk together.

Do you have anything in your mind? If I remember correctly, one goal of this
project is to port the TCP/IP stack from another OS such as BSD because we want
to get rid of Linux code in Hurd. Another goal might be split the whole TCP/IP
stack into several pieces. For example, one process running IP, one running TCP,
etc.

Best,
Da
