{{TOC}}

This is a living list of various issues and proposals that should be considered and revisited over time. For instance, a proposal to change something in the code or architecture (such as an API change), or to consider the reuse of some other project's code.

Discussion of these items should occur on the [http://mailman.isi.edu/pipermail/ns-developers/ ns-developers list]; this list is merely for archiving the items.

'''Note: We have a [http://www.nsnam.org/contributing.html#bugs Bugzilla database] for tracking bugs, patches, feature requests, and tasks; this list is for items that don't fit into those categories or maybe are not ready or major enough for Bugzilla tracking.'''
