Sure thing, and to the guys that wrote Linux TCP, I'm just moving code around,
and I like this fact, after all is for the most part very well tested
code that has
to just be shaken a bit in its new "positioning" in the "global
codebase", duh :-P

Latest tree is at:

http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/acme/dccp-2.6.14-2.git;a=shortlog

And finishes the generalisation of TCP TIMEWAIT buckets, implementing the
transformation of a full sized dccp_sock into a inet_timewait_sock, etc.

My motivation now is on testing, testing and to work on some sort of
test suite to
what we already have and documentation is where I encourage you to devote some
time, to provide a nice list of what can be used to test, etc.

I haven't managed so far to find any problem in the generalised code, but the
implementation most definetively has issues, that after some more testing I'll
try to get into a list (CLOSE packets sometimes are getting an ACK as response,
not a RESET, etc).

Also the dccp mailing just created by Dave at vger seems to have vanished,
I'm trying to figure out what happened with the vger admins.

PS.: I'll take some notes and keep a blog (yes, advogato hasn't teached me
these things works only for a while till you get bored again ;):
