 NetBSD Networking Roadmap
 =========================
@@ -6,42 +6,65 @@
 This is a small roadmap document, and deals with the networking
 side of the operating system.
 
-The following projects are expected to be included in NetBSD 6.0
-8. SMP-aware Network Packet Filter
+The following projects are expected to be included in NetBSD 8.0
+0. SCTP
 
 The following features are expected to be in future releases:
-1. Mobile IPv6
-2. SCTP
+1. net80211 support [n/ac]
+2. Mobile IPv6
 3. network driver polling
 4. ALTQ processing on input
 5. integrated multicast dns / zeroconf
 6. tcp support in libsa
 7. netboot from http
+8. MP network stack
 
 We'll continue to update this roadmap as features and dates get firmed up.

 Some explanations

-2. SCTP
+0. SCTP
 -------
 
 Add support for the SCTP for both IPv4 and IPv6.

+1. net80211 [n/ac]
+------------------
+
+Resync FreeBSD stack to get support for n, ac, VAP
+
+Responsible: christos
+Status: started porting FreeBSD code
+Comment[christos]: This will add VAP support too, and needs changes to all
+the specific drivers.

+2. Mobile IPv6

 Responsible: matt

+Comment[christos]: The ALTQ code and interface is very messy and there
+is a lot of code duplication. People (ozaki-r/knakahara) are working on
+this as part as MP stack

-8. SMP-aware Packet Filter
---------------------------
+Status: not started
+Comment[christos]: Not very interesting
 
-A new packet filter which is SMP-aware has been written by rmind, as a
-project funded by the NetBSD Foundation.  zoltan has updated it for
-IPv6, and various bits contributed by christos, dholland and martin. 
-This will be in 6.0

-Responsible: rmind, zoltan, christos, dholland, martin
+Make multi-threaded network stack
