Hi freebsd-net@ mailing list, I want to get into FreeBSD kernel development (I have been doing Ports for over 3.5 years), and have an interest in TCP/IP networking. I am looking at the "Low hanging kernel fruit" section of the Wiki entry for Networking (https://wiki.freebsd.org/Networking), and this entry seems interesting: > Reject non-broadcast destinations passed to IP_ONESBCAST with a > meaningful error. I have a few questions: 1. Is this task suitable for a FreeBSD kernel development beginner? 2. Should I modify ip_output() in sys/netinet/ip_output.c? ip_ctloutput()? 3. To check for a broadcast address, would in_ifaddr_broadcast() be okay? Thank You, Neel Chauhan === https://www.neelc.org/
