There are two remaining issues to complete ns-3.25:
* Natale Patriciello, Pasquale Imputato, and Stefano Avallone are working on a priority queueing layer and flow control in the IP stack
** Status:  Code under development at:  https://github.com/stavallo/ns-3-dev-git/commits/queue-disc-exp
** Next steps:  Considering a few different approaches to settle on the NetDevice API changes
* Sebastien Deronne, Matias Richart, and Tom Henderson are working on providing dynamic rate control for Wi-Fi HT/VHT modes.
** Status:  This is listed as [https://www.nsnam.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1797 bug 1797] in the tracker, but has generated a number of additional bug reports that need to be finished, including 2275, 2311, 2313, 2315, and 2316.
