Scott,

I dont know at this point.  I was studying the stack some months ago,
but didnt get too far.  Im going to get my BeOS test box up and
running with our stack, and run some basic tests using the route,
ping, and other command that we already have.  Philippe was looking
for a short report of my findings in doing this.  I have access to
many different machines and tools, so I can set up packet traces
using Ethereal and the like...

That said, I'm not really sure how we could divide the work.  How
about you do a similar task as I am going to do above. Keep track of
your:

Hardware configuration of your BeOS machine (CPU, RAM, Nic, etc)
Network: routers, hubs, switches, etc
Hosts: What are the machine specs and OSes you are pinging, ftping
to, telneting to and so forth (Windows, *nix, BeOS, etc...)

This should take too long to complete.  We can then compare our
findings and then decide how we can tackle the stack most efficiently.

Let me know what you think...

Brennan
