@ -10,6 +10,30 @@ Home-grown alternative implementation of Apple Internet Router 3.0
TashTalk could be a stretch goal, if I can acquire one!
## Caveats
Things I plan to fix Real Soon Now:
* It currently listens to all AppleTalk and AARP traffic on the EtherTalk port.
This might not play well with other AppleTalk software, e.g. netatalk.
* Also it currently uses the default Ethernet address for the interface for
sending packets. I plan to add the ability to configure a different address.
* It doesn't do any of the required packet splitting to keep packets under the
AppleTalk size limits. In particular ZIP GetZoneList Replies are incorrect
when the zone list would exceed the limit.
* It logs a lot and has no other monitoring or observability capability. I plan
to add a Prometheus metrics endpoint and at least add log levels / verbosity
flag.
* The AURP implementation is strictly incomplete, and lost connections with
configured peers aren't re-established after some backoff. This won't be too
difficult.
Things I plan to fix At Some Point:
* For expediency I made it act as a _seed router_. At some point I might add
"soft seed" functionality.
