+- Session API implementation
Priority: High

- Owner: Martin Xu <martin.xu@intel.com>
+ 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.

-- On demand connection
- Priority: Medium
+- DNS caching
+
+ Priority: Low
Complexity: C4
- Owner: Samuel Ortiz <sameo@linux.intel.com>
- With on demand connection applications get connectivity access
- simply by trying to reach the network. They don't need to
- specifically request for a service connection, but ConnMan
- establishes it on their behalf.
- This feature counter part is idle disconnect. ConnMan needs to be
- able to close the on demand established connections by monitoring
- the link activity. This requires kernel support with e.g. the
- netfilter IDLETIMER target.
+ 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.
- The IPv4 Link Local part should be integrated into DHCP-lib.
-- OpenVPN
+- Personal firewall
Priority: Low
- Complexity: C2
+ 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.

Priority: Low
- Complexity: C2
+ Complexity: C4
+ Support more URI schemes, support multiple connections, tighter
+ security integration.
-- iptables wrapper
- Priority: High
- Complexity: C4
- Owner: Samuel Ortiz <sameo@linux.intel.com>
- ConnMan needs to be able to set iptables rules and tables for both
- tethering and on demand connection.
- The main idea is to define an internal API for talking to the
- netfilter socket in order to set our tables and rules. Being in
- sync with the actual iptables library might be problematic.
- A less elegant solution would be a process based one, that would
- simply call the iptables executable.

-- Tethering
+- EAP-AKA/SIM
Priority: Medium

- Dependencies: Core:iptables wrapper
- Dependencies: Core:DHCP lib server
+ Complexity: C2
+ Owner: Samuel Ortiz <sameo@linux.intel.com>
- Bluetooth, USB and WiFi tethering.
- The tethering framework would typically allow sharing the 3G data
- link between WiFi, Bluetooth or USB clients.
- A bridge needs to be setup and all tethering connections are added
- to it. A DHCP server and a DNS proxy will be running on the bridge.
- Then IP forwarding and masquerading will be set between the default
- service and the bridge interface.
+ 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.

-- pacrunner
+- Wireless background scan
- Priority: High
+ Priority: Medium
Complexity: C4
- Owner: Mohamed Abbas <mohamed.abbas@intel.com>
+ Owner: Samuel Ortiz <sameo@linux.intel.com>
- pacrunner is a standalone daemon that downloads and interpret PAC
- files through a JavaScript interpreter. Once the interpretation is
- done, pacrunner is able to associate a proxy with an URL.
- pacrunner D-Bus interface exports a configuration API for passing
- it the PAC URLs. It also provide a FindProxyForURL() API for
- application to know which proxies to use.
- ConnMan will use pacrunner for both auto and manual proxy
- configurations. Then applications should talk to pacrunner (through
- libproxy for example) to find the right proxies.
- ConnMan will also use the FindProxyForURL() pacruner API for a more
- stable and accurate online detection code.
+ 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.
-- Moving DNS proxy code to ConnMan core
+- WiFi p2p
Priority: Medium
Complexity: C2
- Supporting DNS proxy or resolv.conf direct editing seems more than
- plenty as far as resolving is concerned. So the idea is to move the
- dnsproxy plugin code to ConnMan core and have an additional command
- line option in case one would like to stick with the current
- resolver.c code for editing resolv.conf.

- 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.
+ 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.
