Ok Ian, I think the first this need a more dedicated research in order
to accomplish this DCCP User API. I'm taking my master degree on it,
so I'm going to looking for related works and try to adequate the
works on it. Do you know if there are someone working on related
stuffs?
I actually initiate the Generalized Connection implementation job.
I already modify the Kconfig files and Makefiles of the kernel to
initiate the implementation. I'm currently studying dccp
implementation code and some kernel development docs, include the
paper that you put in your homepage and the book from Robert Love
(Novell Press).
