TODO

• allow indenpendently poll ingress and egress of packets (this will benefit projects implementing module)

• refactor

  • each socket holds a pointer to endpoint (this should be the hw addr) - done
    • if no hw addr is set yet, can't communicate
  • each packet gets copied to each endpoint if endpoint can accept it (ideally figure out how to filter based on hw addr too)
  • need some way to setup hw addr, probably using a socket or something that will do the job.
    • it is not possible to do this in the net layer because unlike ethernet/ip there is no fixed hw addr, that can change at any point

• figure how to handle lower level comms (like can control)

• optimise structures and it's layout without relying on packed structures

• setup some static analysis

• implement duplicate address detection and auto reset (it should also flush any queued socket packets)

• managed buffers on heap / both set size and dynamic

• setup tests using unity

• setup doxygen

• setup github pipeline for testing

implementation

• module is a mediator
• ui will send out state change events to keep it agnostic of the mechanism
  • module will request change on the state machine each service will receive packet
  • can can interrupt and discard the packet
