+      <p>First, André Oppermann gave a status report on his current work
+	on the interface between the network stack and the drivers.  He
+	is planning to publish a formal documentation on the
+	stack-driver boundary and split the <tt>ifnet</tt> structure
+	into separate, stack- and driver-owned section, finally all
+	drivers will be adjusted to this new world order, and call for
+	feedback will be posted to the respective mailing lists.  This
+	change is being implemented in the <tt>projects/ifq</tt>
+	Subversion branch, supervised by Ed Maste on behalf of the &os;
+	Foundation as sponsor.  In addition to that, André is close to
+	complete his TCP-AO work, and also working on moving the IPsec
+	code into a <tt>pfil(9)</tt>-based kernel module.  Besides that,
+	Gleb Smirnoff came up with the problem of implementing a
+	lightweight reference counting to avoid dangling pointers and
+	Alexander Chernikov started a discussion on the routing
+	performance.</p>
+
+      <p>Another highlight of the networking stack working group was the
+	discussion on testing, where everybody agreed that developers
+	should communicate with companies able to test the performance
+	with different workloads.  Olivier Cochard-Labbé (from Orange)
+	and Alexander Chernikov (from Yandex) have already shown
+	interest in this effort, while the Netflix staff (Lawrence
+	Stewart, Adrian Chadd, and Scott Long) confirmed that they have
+	access to TCP-heavy production workload.  On a related note, it
+	was added that Netflix is looking to host developer summits
+	focused on networking in Los Gatos, California, on a
+	semi-regular basis.</p>
