Yes this (and easier more modularity through less coherence => easier
testing) is the main reason for the refactoring.

The broken border router is mainly the fault of the broken 6LoWPAN Neighbor
Discovery and the restricted possibility of multiple interfaces (it used to
be just a thread, that scooped all packets not addressed to a node in the
PAN over the UART of a node with no other option available). Since the
refactoring effort also aims to squash this bugs once and for all (again
through easier testing) and the multiple interface support is build-in into
the model (you can even have SLIP over UART, if you do not have an Ethernet
or WiFi module; have a look at PR #1454 [1]), there is nothing that is in
the way of a functioning border router.

Cheers,
Martine

What about bringing the border router support back into a state where
a real, well designed RIOT based border router? Or, is the role of a
border router better filled by Linux and the associated 15.4 driver
work that's being done.


I'm just adding my 2c worth. I'm not really directly answering the 
question.


Recently I've been using the ESP2866 wifi modules. They're pretty 
interesting.


I really think at some point, a 'Cloud' approach needs to be 
considered/discussed.


Yes, there are lots of people that want their own device-space but since 
a 'Linux Router' is extra hardware+software (that somebody might not 
want), some sort of cloud notion is worthwhile considering. It's also 
'funding-friendly'.

Is support for TSCH in there somewhere? While I'm not entirely read up on
the spec it would seem to be fairly important these days.

What is the current state of TSCH support in RIOT these days? I'm stuck on
my phone at the moment or I'd take a look for myself (really, it probably
has a bit more to do with my being hungover and slightly lazy this morning).

Maybe we should think on how to use messaging with large buffers and

I guess deprecating the old transceiver API completely would be the better
approach. Probably the MSB-A2 (+AVSExtrem) and maybe the WSN430-v1_3b are the
only somewhat relevant boards where a new driver is missing. But it's probably
not too difficult to adapt it to #1772.

Sure, I can do this.

I'm also willing to provide support here, but won't have to much time to work
on it directly.

Sounds doable to me from what I know about both stacks.

See above.

The infamous econotag... Porting it to the new periph interface could be nice,
but I would consider it as optional for the release.

[riot-devel] Refectoring the network stack

2014-11-05 Thread Martine Lenders
Hi,
as discussed on the virtual meeting we aim to have the new network stack
running with the next release (end of November or before christmas).
Currently, I'm the only one directly involved into the development (appart
from several radio driver implementations), and while parts of the model
come from me, Hauke is currently refining it. As for development it is
clear, that I can't be the only one working on it.

I'm currently in the testing stage of 6LoWPAN but it is mostly done, but I
still need some kind of way to communicate with the transceiver module for
older boards (alternative would be to remove it, but for this we need #1772
and #1733 merged and all boards moved to the low-level driver model). I
hope I have this done at the end of next week.

All in all it's still a long way to the transport layer and to speed things
up, I thought some of you guys may want to help me. I tried to split down
the tasks at hand and assigned preliminary some people who might be able to
do it. If you do not want/can not do this task, please notify this. Also if
you want to take over a task do tell so too, please. Every assignment with
a question mark is not fixed yet.

* Model (Martine? and Hauke)
* 6LoWPAN
  - backwards compatibility with transceiver module (Martine)
  - bug-hunting (Martine)
  - ND according to https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6775 (Martine?, depends
on a running ND for IPv6)
  - optional: Next header compression (Oleg?)
* IPv6
  - port to netapi and pktbuf and remove 6LoWPAN dependency (Martine?)
  - consistent and extendable IPv6 Extension Header API (Martine?)
  - consistent and extendable ICMPv6 API (Lotte?)
  - Neighbor discovery according to http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4861
(Martine?, depends maybe on ICMPv6 API, but can be done without it, I guess)
* Transport layer
  - port to netapi and pktbuf (Cenk?)

* optional tasks for full deprecation of `transceiver`:
  - port OpenWSN (would this also include an IEEE 802.15.4e MAC layer?) and
CCNlite to netapi or netdev
  - port boards that use cc110x to periph API or port cc110x_legacy and
cc110x_legacy_csma to netdev
  - either removal or port to netdev of redbee-econotag
