>From my running notes on n2n.

Definite issues
 - password on edge command line is a security flaw.
 - superuser privileges for edge should be dropped (provide -u <uid> 
   option).
 - MTU calculations.
 - only /24 n2n networks supported.
 - random seeding of twofish is too predictable for crypography.
 - unmarshall + marshall for changing one bit (should pass 
   n2n2_packet_header and payload separately and combine in final 
   marshalling).
 - LZO compressing to larger size is a problem if max MTU packet size 
   to start with.
 - edge to supernode registration retry does not exist (no 
   REGISTER_ACK from supernode).
 - supernode is vulnerable to DoS by fast registration attack.

Questions
 - is private_ip used for anything?

Features to add
 - SIGUSR1/SIGUSR2 to change logging verbosity
