+
+    1.1.x TODO LIST
+ 
+    * Update the man page!
+
+    - Add a programmer's man page detailing the pblock architecture.
+
+    - Fix plist memory leak.
+
+    - Fix IPv6.  According to RFC 2992:
+      "Another difference from IPv4 raw sockets is that complete packets
+      (that is, IPv6 packets with extension headers) cannot be read or
+      written using the IPv6 raw sockets API.  Instead, ancillary data
+      objects are used to transfer the extension headers, as described
+      later in this document.  Should an application need access to the
+      complete IPv6 packet, some other technique, such as the datalink
+      interfaces BPF or DLPI, must be used.
+
+      All fields in the IPv6 header that an application might want to
+      change (i.e., everything other than the version number) can be
+      modified using ancillary data and/or socket options by the
+      application for output.  All fields in a received IPv6 header (other
+      than the version number and Next Header fields) and all extension
+      headers are also made available to the application as ancillary data
+      on input.  Hence there is no need for a socket option similar to the
+      IPv4 IP_HDRINCL socket option."
+
+    - Add self-throttling logic to libnet_write()/libnet_init()?  Advanced
+      mode thing?
+
+    - Prune the include list in libnet.h.in.  Also add conditionals
+      around the headers we use for building the library, but not when
+      using it.
+
+    - Data marshalling API for unaligned structures (like STP).
+
+    - Make cisco ISL work.  The issue is that we have build our Ethernet
+      frame first, then encapsulate it inside of an ISL envelope.
+        - We have to compute CRCs for both Ethernet and ISL.
+
+    - Tune advanced interface functionality that allow the application
+      programmer to get inside libnet_t.
+
+    - Test HPUX 11 port.
+
+    - Test cywin32 port.
+
+    - Flesh out the advanced mode.
+
+    - Consider making a flag for "strict mode" where libnet will check
+      things like when you build an IP options list there is an IP
+      header preceding it (likewise for TCP)...  Other "smart" things
+      could happen in this mode too.  When in non-strict mode, libnet
+      will be less rigid but prone to user-error mode.
+
+    - If we have a problem building a header we might end up freeing it
+      creating a NULL entry on the list and preventing us from getting to
+      entries beyond it (to free or whatever).  Maybe we should mark it
+      bad or something and rely on the cleanup at the end to free it up?
+
+    - Fix checksum support for CDP
+
+    - Verify Checksuming:
+      Currently verified working on OpenBSD/Linux/Solaris:
+      - raw  IP/UDP         [with and without data]
+      - raw  IP/TCP         [with and without data]
+      - raw  IP/ICMP        [with and without data]
+      - raw  IP/OSPF
+        - hello packet      [with no auth data]
+        - hello packet      [with no auth data and LSA sub-header (LSA check = bad)]
+      - link IP/UDP         [with and without data]
+      - link IP/TCP         [with and without data]
+
+    - Update the rest of the libnet_link_* files for the new format, already
+      ported:
+      - bpf                 [works]
+      - linux packet socket [works]
+      - linux sock packet   [works]
+      - dlpi                [works]
+
+    - Port link stuff to use writev() in libnet_write() (sendto can't hang).
+
+    - Get IPsec code working.
+
+    - Add the following packet builders:
+      - SNMP
+
+    - Update __libnet_handle_dump to dump everything in l verbosely.
