Hello All, I was wondering what the current timeline looks like for integrating the patches in the testing tree into the mainline kernel? Myself, and several other researchers at Ohio University, believe that DCCP would be an ideal protocol for encapsulating Delay Tolerant Networking protocols for transportation across the Internet. For testing purposes, we do not desire guaranteed reliability, but do require congestion control. After testing (and bug fixing) DCCP for most of the last year, we are convinced that DCCP with CCID2 will be effective for our goals. In fact, we are in the process of writing an Internet Draft to recommend that other researchers use DCCP for encapsulating these DTN protocols. However, the CCID2 code in the mainline kernel is very buggy and suffers from very poor performance. As a result, the only way to get a version of CCID2 that works well is to build a custom kernel from the testing tree. This, obviously, puts a damper on adoption. As a result, it would be nice to have some idea of when code typically migrates from the testing tree into the mainline kernel and how that determination is made. Thanks.
