Oleg:
We've come to believe different things. :) My cursory
review of the openssh.3.0.2 source code package suggests that
its connection layer (channel.c) is in fact pretty distinct from
the transport code (packet.c).
Also, let me clarify: I do *not* want to use part of the
SSH protocol now. What I want to be sure of is that *our* solution
for the connection-layer (that which manages the multiple channels
in the steel-tube) is distinct from *our* solution for the transport
layer (that which manages the encrypt/decryption of point-to-point
data).
At some point in the future, not today, I want to update
the transport layer so that, among other things, it's not built
upon MFC libraries. SSH is only one of many options I'm considering
for this transport; a layer-2 solution such as IPSec has some
compelling features, for example.
So, importantly, I'm *not* suggesting that we redo any of
our code to use SSH methods right now. The only part of the SSH code
base I'm eager to implement *right now* is the clear distinction and
modularity between the connection-layer from the transport-layer.
Please confirm that we're on the same page with this strategy.
