Especialy as I could not find any documents on the packet format. The code does not transmit packets. All of the packet transmit functions are stubs. I can think of no greater failure for a networking protocol. Since the code does nothing except have buzz-word compliant descriptions that are content free I respectfully suggest you make it mostly work before foisting it on people. My advice for a future day when you have code that can transmit packets is to start small. Have patches that do things and do them clearly. Once you have a minimal version of working code merged then work your way up. For just sharing your code you might simply want to have your own tree that you publish publicly.
