1: == Project Clearview: IPMP Rearchitecture ==
2: 
3: This part of the Clearview project fixes a number of longstanding deficiencies in IPMP by promoting each IPMP group to be an actual IP interface, along with several other smaller enhancements, such as ipmpstat. This page contains references to all material relating to the rationale, design, and implementation of these changes.

14: === Key Milestones ===
15: 
16: * Basic network connectivity using single interface IPMP group (Peter Memishian, February 2006)
17: * Basic network connectivity using a multi-interface IPMP group (Peter Memishian, August 2006)
18: * Integrated ARP changes necessary for IPMP into Nevada (Peter Memishian, October 2006)
19: * Migrated existing IPMP test suite from STC1 to TET (Joanna Zhou, November 2006)
20: * Completed dynamic reconfiguration interaction with IPMP (Peter Memishian, February 2007)
21: * Completed alpha-level functionality (Peter Memishian; April 2007) (essentially: parity with Nevada’s IPMP feature set, except for IPv6 support and IPv4 multicast and broadcast support).  Notable milestones:
22:    * Boot support complete.
23:    * Probe-based and link-based failure detection both operational.
24:    * IPMP anonymous groups operational.
25:    * Active/passive interface configuration operational; FAILBACK=no operational.
26:    * Automatic inbound and outbound load spreading both operational.
27: * Built and provided IPMP BFU archives to alpha customers (Peter Memishian, May 2007)
28: * Completed implementation of new ipmpstat command (Peter Memishian, May 2007)
29: * Completed PSARC inception (Peter Memishian, June 2007)
30: * Completed broadcast code (Peter Memishian, July 2007)

32: * Completed kstats and MIB code (Peter Memishian, July 2007)
33: * Completed enhanced handling of duplicate hardware addresses (Peter Memishian, August 2007)
34: * Completed implementation of sockets-based DHCP client (Peter Memishian, September 2007)
35: * Integrated sockets-based DHCP client into Nevada (Peter Memishian, October 2007)
