[1] OpenBSD. This may be at the leading edge as far as security is concerned, it just doesn't have what it takes required when it comes to the hardware support that a project like m0n0 needs. As far as I can see, by using FreeBSD 6 we get the (most of the) benefits of OpenBSD anyway. I have a great deal of respect for OpenBSD but changing would be a pain for developers and a problem for users. I vote for FreeBSD. (2) Bandwidth Shaping. This is the most difficult part of mono for most users. The shaping in PFsense (based on ALTQ, I believe) is even more complex to setup than that in mono. It allows for much more but I think that people will struggle with it. Not much point in having something that most people are unable to use. (I am sure that I will have the shaping in PFsense figured out soon - at the moment I can use it on a very basic level. ) ALTQ may be better but dummynet works and is fairly easy to use. As people start to understand ALTQ it may get easier to use. Vote: Keep dummynet, maybe change over to ALTQ later on - I sure the develops will have enough to chew on as it is. [3] Multiple WAN support - load balancing would be really great. If we are going modular then a BGP module would be fun to play with. sai |
