Hi!

I have been deleloping a connection oriented layer 3+4 protocol mostly for wifi mesh networks. Its main difference is that "tcp" connections are not end-to-end but between neighboring routers instead.

It runs ane you can test it, if you want, but it is not ready for merging or actual use yet. Some unfinished tasks include:
- cleanups
- performance: lots of things which can be improved
- keepalive
- interfaces for configuration+statistics
- move to a newer upstream kernel
- I am not sure how some of the in-kernel interfaces work. More specifically, I am not sure which "struct proto/proto_ops" functions need to be implemented and how ho avoid race conditions when accessing various variables. Also, network namespaces are not handled yet either. I will look closer into this when the other issues are resolved in order to avoid upstream changes breaking it in the mean time.
