Background
==========

- Priority scale: High, Medium and Low

- Complexity scale: C1, C2, C4 and C8.
   The complexity scale is exponential, with complexity 1 being the
   lowest complexity. Complexity is a function of both task 'complexity'
   and task 'scope'.

Core
====

- Session API implementation

   Priority: High
   Complexity: C4
   Owner: Daniel Wagner <daniel.wagner@bmw-carit.de>
   Owner: Patrik Flykt <patrik.flykt@linux.intel.com>

   The session API should provide a connection abstraction in order to
   prioritize applications network accesses, prevent or allow network
   and bearer roaming, or provide applications with a way to request
   for periodic network connections. On-demand connections will be
   implemented through this API as well.
   See http://www.mail-archive.com/connman@connman.net/msg01653.html


- DNS caching

   Priority: Low
   Complexity: C4

   A simple initial implementation would see ConnMan's dnsproxy
   caching the DNS record based on their TTL.


- IP ranges allocation and check

   Priority: High
   Complexity: C2
   Guillaume Zajac <guillaume.zajac@linux.intel.com>

   For both tethering and private networks, but also to detect invalid
   static IP configurations, we need to have a core IP range layer
   that manages all currently used IP blocks.


- Personal firewall

   Priority: Low
   Complexity: C8
   Owner: Tomasz Bursztyka <tomasz.bursztyka@linux.intel.com>

   Discuss and implement a basic and safe firewalling strategy into
   Connman. Provide a D-Bus API for personal firewalling.


- PACRunner extensions

   Priority: Low
   Complexity: C4

   Support more URI schemes, support multiple connections, tighter
   security integration.



WiFi
====

- EAP-AKA/SIM

   Priority: Medium
   Complexity: C2
   Owner: Samuel Ortiz <sameo@linux.intel.com>

   This EAP is needed for SIM card based network authentication.
   ConnMan here plays a minor role: Once wpa_supplicant is set up for
   starting and EAP-AKA/SIM authentication, it will talk to a SIM card
   through its pcsc-lite API.


- EAP-FAST

   Priority: Low
   Complexity: C1


- Wireless background scan

   Priority: Medium
   Complexity: C4
   Owner: Samuel Ortiz <sameo@linux.intel.com>

   While connected ConnMan should offload the background scanning to
   wpa_supplicant. Wpa_supplicant allows for a fancy background scan
   which frequency increases after the current connection signal level
   drops below a defined threshold.
   We should also be able to have wpa_supplicant do the background
   scanning for us when we're not connected, if we have configured our
   favorite networks.


- WiFi p2p

   Priority: Medium
   Complexity: C2



Bluetooth
=========

- DUN client

   Priority: Low
   Complexity: C4
   Owner: Mario Tokarz <mario.tokarz@bmw-carit.de>



Cellular
========


VPN
===

- IPsec

   Priority: Medium
   Complexity: C4
   Owner: Jukka Rissanen <jukka.rissanen@linux.intel.com>


- Split tunnelling

   Priority: Low
   Complexity: C8
   Dependencies: Core:Private networks
   Owner: Jukka Rissanen <jukka.rissanen@linux.intel.com>

   The current VPN support puts the VPN interface at the top of the
   service list, giving VPNs the default route. When doing split
   tunneling, the system routes packet to the VPN interface for
   private IPs, while going through the default interface for the rest
   of the traffic.


Tools
=====

- Command line tool

   Priority: Low
   Complexity: C4
   Owner: Patrik Flykt <patrik.flykt@linux.intel.com>

   For platforms not running python, it could prove useful to provide them
   with a native single binary command line tool.


User Interface
==============

- GNOME3 UI

   Priority: Low
   Complexity: C4
   Owner: Alok Barsode <alok.barsode@linux.intel.com>

   A GNOME3 shell user interface would make it easier for mainstream distros
   users to use ConnMan.
