[ANet-devel] IPC Docs and tentative coding roadmap

[Benoit N. <be...@ma...>]

Check out section 5 of the 'ipc' manpage in Linux ("man 5 ipc").
We should stick to non-Linux specific system calls, as this will make
porting to other UNIX systems easier (System V?).

Here's a tentative roadmap for the coding of version 1 of ANet:

1. Get the Client library to work, even if the deamon does nothing.
2. Make the data transfer and TCP/IP modules in the deamon, establish
   simple connections.
3. ANet network connection & partial network map (you remember, the network
   should be "flat"...)
3. Queries.
4. Static data objects.
5. Two-way data transfer.
6. Final tests, basic (very basic) security tests.

For each "milestone", we should do some testing before moving to the next
milestone.

That's OK for everyone?

OK. I'm back to my reading on IPC...
