-Implementable right now (but not necessarily important), with caveats

-* TBENCH

-0.9.0pre0:
-* TRANSPORT:
- - core dump / jump to nowhere (valgrind) in udp test in transports
- - TCP not used bi-directionally (especially important also for PONG!)
- Need a way for plugin to tell to service that it can *reliably* transmit
- PONGs. Need *good* way to ensure only one (plugin) session is active at
- any given point in time; need systematic way to periodically probe latency/
- transport cost changes
- - disconnect notifications from TCP not always as nice as we might want
- them to be (but how can we do this cleanly given that UDP is connectionless?)
- - implement transport API to pretty-print transport address
- + transport_api extension (API extension!)
- + service-transport extension (protocol extension)
- - instantly filter addresses from *other* peers that
- are *equal* to our own address + port (i.e., localhost:2086). We
- no longer filter those for outgoing (helps with loopback testing
- and keeps the code clean), but we should filter strictly *impossible*
- incoming addresses! This is for efficiency, not correctness.
- - [./transport/gnunet-service-transport.c:173]: (style) struct or union member 'TransportPlugin::rebuild' is never used
- - [./transport/plugin_transport_tcp.c:391]: (style) struct or union member 'Plugin::address_update_task' is never used
-* CORE:
- - SET_KEY is triggered every 2.5 minutes (after session is up); should
- just do PING (not SET_KEY + PING)
- - "Forcing disconnect of XXX due to inactivity" -- can happen every few MS!?
- (disconnect does not really succeed, or what?)
-* HELLO:
- - need function to test "equivalency" of HELLOs; use in topology!
-* FS:
- - GAP improvements:
- + active reply route caching design & implementation of service,
- gap extension!
- - gnunet-publish cannot be aborted using CTRL-C
- - on some systems, keyword search does not find locally published content
- (need testcase of command-line tools!)
- - 2-peer download is still too slow (why?)
- - advanced FS API parts
- + namespaces: fundamental namespace API
- + search: SBlocks, KSBlocks, probes, notify FS-service of known results
- + collection
- + location URIs (publish, search, download)
- + indexing: index-failure-cleanup
- + download: management/bounding of parallel downloads (for recursive dl.)
- + datastore reservation (publishing)
- + gnunet-publish (URI args)
- + gnunet-download (directory)
- + gnunet-search (options, incl. namespace search)
- + gnunet-download (many options)
- + gnunet-directory (man page, options)
- + gnunet-pseudonym (all of it)
- + gnunet-service-fs (remove failing on-demand blocks, hot-path routing, load-based routing, nitpicks)
- - implement adv. FS testcases
- + getopt API
- + insert: sblocks, loc uris
- + download: loc uris
- + search: sblocks, skblocks, loc uris
- + namespaces
- + collection
- - implement FS performance tests

0.9.0pre1:
-* Module features to implement:
- - tbench (RC-pre1)
- + good to have for DV evaluation!

- + write DV API
- + implement DV service [Nate & CG]
- + implement DV library [Nate]
- + implement DV transport plugin [Nate & CG]
- + implement testcases [Nate]
- + implement performance tests [Nate]
-* SETUP:
- - design & implement new setup tool
-* GUIs to implement:
- - gtk (RC-pre1)
- + how to integrate scheduler with GTK event loop!
-* HOSTLIST:
- - 'server' uses 'GNUNET_PEERINFO_iterate', should probably switch to notification API
- (for more instant / up-to-date hostlists at lower cost) [OPTIMIZATION]
-* STATISTICS:
- - does not seem to work with timeouts (especially if service is not running)
-* UTIL:
+* PEERINFO:
- trust: need *fast* way to check/update trust in peers
- (async peerinfo would not be right)
- - scheduler should change OS process priority based on task priority;
- should make better use of task priorities in general
+ (async peerinfo would not be right; certainly not with the current API)
+* UTIL:
- only connect() sockets that are ready (select()) [Nils]
- [On W32, we need to select after calling socket before
- doing connect etc.]
-* DATACACHE:
- - add stats (# bytes available, # bytes used, # PUTs, # GETs, # GETs satisfied)
-* FS:
- - persistence support (publish, unindex, search, download)
- - non-anonymous FS service (needs DHT)
- + basic DHT integration
- + CS-DHT-functions (DHT-put of LOC)
- + P2P-functions (DHT-get)
- - active migration support (in fs or in datastore?)
+ [On W32, we need to select after calling socket before doing connect etc.]
* TOPOLOGY:
- needs more testing (especially F2F topology)
- needs to re-try connecting after disconnect (currently, it
disconnect-reconnect events and the implicit whitelisting
that might happen here; that's not so bad since we will
re-blacklist on pre-connect attempts anyway, so this is
- a minor issue).
+ a minor issue; OTOH, we might want to be more explicit about
+ allowing/forbidding connects on pre-connect to avoid
+ entering connect attempts to just be blacklisted shortly afterwards).
- the code uses the term 'blacklist' for both peers that are forbidden
to connect (i.e. F2F mode) as well as peers that we currently
won't try to actively connect to ourselves (since we just tried);
- This is confusing. We need two distinct terms.
+ This is confusing. We need two distinct terms (greylist?).
- move code to use hash table instead of linked list
- instead of periodically discarding blacklisted entries,
simply add task that is triggered at the right time (earlier free,
more balanced load)
- check if new HELLO learned is different from old HELLO
before resetting entire state!
+* DATASTORE:
+ - API lacks cancellation methods (needed? or is disconnect enough?)
+ - may also want to integrate request queuing here instead of gnunet-service-fs_drq.c
+* FS: [CG]
+ - support recursive download even if filename is NULL and we hence
+ do not generate files on disk (use temp_filename)
+ - bound parallelism (# fs downloads)
+ - distinguish in performance tracking and event signalling between
+ downloads that are actually running and those that are merely in the queue
+ - persistence support (publish, unindex, search, download)
+ - active migration support (in fs or in datastore or new daemon?)
+ - gnunet-service-fs (hot-path routing, load-based routing, nitpicks)
+ - [gnunet-service-fs.c:208]: member 'LocalGetContext::results_bf_size' is never used
+ - [gnunet-service-fs.c:501]: member 'PendingRequest::used_pids_size' is never used
+ - [gnunet-service-fs.c:654]: member 'ConnectedPeer::last_client_replies' is never used
+ - [gnunet-service-fs.c:669]: member 'ConnectedPeer::avg_delay' is never used

+ - [gnunet-service-fs.c:688]: member 'ConnectedPeer::pending_requests' is never used
+ - [gnunet-service-fs.c:694]: member 'ConnectedPeer::last_p2p_replies_woff' is never used
+ - [gnunet-service-fs.c:700]: member 'ConnectedPeer::last_client_replies_woff' is never used
+ - GAP improvements:
+ + active reply route caching design & implementation of service; gap extension!
+* TBENCH: [MW]
+ - good to have for transport/DV evaluation!

+ - write DV API (need to move declarations from dv_api.c to gnunet_dv_service.h!)
+ - implement DV service
+ - implement DV library (looks done)
+ - implement DV transport plugin
+ - implement testcases
+ - implement performance tests
+* GNUNET-GTK:
+ - use g_main_context_set_poll_func to integrate GTK with GNUnet Scheduler!? (YUCK!)
+ - OR: add scheduler API to enable integration with GTK main loop instead of doing our own select
+ - use g_main_context_pending, g_main_context_query / g_main_context_check / g_main_context_dispatch
+ and NEVER g_main_loop_run (can this be done? might be the clean way to do this! But how
+ to integrate this with "gtk_main"? Docu says:
+ "It's OK to use the GLib main loop directly instead of gtk_main(), though it involves
+ slightly more typing. See GMainLoop in the GLib documentation."
+ => so maybe it "just works"?
+* SETUP:
+ - design & implement new setup tool

+ - HTTP backend [MW]
+* ARM: [Safey]
- need to get rid of synchronous API for service starts (cause all kinds of problems)
[=> eliminate for need to tell ARM about service starts most of the time!] [Safey]
- better tracking of which config changes actually need to cause process restarts by ARM.
- better crash management (attach debugging support, capture and analyze
debug output, detect random vs. deterministic crashes)
- shutdown sequence?
-
+* FS: [CG]
+ - datastore reservation (publishing)
+ - search: availability probes

-* STATISTICS:
- - should use BIO instead of mmap
-* PEERINFO:
+* PEERINFO: [CG]
- expire 'ancient' HELLOs (those without valid addresses AND that
we have not 'used' (for their public keys) in a while; need a way
to track actual 'use')
- make sue we also trigger notifications whenever HELLOs expire
+* VPN
+
+
+
+Optimizations:
+* TCP:
+ - should use hash map to look up sessions
+* PEERINFO:
+ - api creates many, many short-lived TCP connections; either some
+ clients should use the API differently or we need to change the
+ API to enable re-use of connections to the service
+* STATISTICS:
+ - should use BIO instead of mmap
+* TRANSPORT:
+ - need to periodically probe latency/transport cost changes & possibly switch transport
+ - instantly filter addresses from *other* peers that
