We don't really have a roadmap. The focus of the past 18 months or so was
on performance, so there were fewer features. Now that we're happier with
the performance, I think you'll start seeing more features.
Here are a few things that I see coming in the next release or two:
- Continuing improvements for the DPDK port.
- Support for Hyper-V.
- Integration with the Linux conntrack module for more stateful
firewalls.
I've heard others mention adding support for NAT, integration with other
stateful services, and a BSD kernel module. We also received an RSTP
implementation that is currently being reviewed.
Since this is an open source project, I hope that there will be a few
surprises from new external contributors.
