cutenet: Yet another network stack for Rust

Design Goals

• Customizability: Data structures on every layer of the network stack should be customizable, such as socket sets, routers, network interfaces (e.g. Ethernet, loopback), and physical devices;
• Portability: cutenet should be able to run as an embedded component, an OS subsystem or a user application library;
• Performance: The network stack should be as fast as possible;

Roadmap

• Packet serialization & deserialization
• Physical devices
• Network interfaces
  • Ethernet interfaces
  • Loopback interfaces
  • IEEE.802.154 interfaces
• Network IP processing & dispatching
  • IPv4 fragmentation & reassembly
  • Multicast groups
• Network routers
  • Network router trait
  • Static network routers
  • Dynamic network routers (based on TRIEs)
• Network sockets
  • Raw sockets
  • TCP sockets
  • UDP sockets
• Network socket sets
