Current tasks that I see are:<br>
<br>
* Filling out the MIB.<br>
<br>
* Implementing the rest of the packet types.<br>
<br>
* "UI", aka. allowing the daemon to use different communication
channels with the master agent, expanded logging, etc.<br>
<br>
I believe it is realistic.<br>

The first two are dependent on my understanding of how SNMP/AgentX
works, the potential blocker I previously had *just* clicked
yesterday (how sequences are implemented). This means I need to
rethink the architecture slightly, but I'm pretty sure I know how to
make that work.<br>
<br>
Aside from that the major issues are my inexperience in implementing
this type of software (something that solves itself as I look for
information and do tests against the master agent), and the
mismatches between what the NTPv4-MIB wants and what data I can get
from mode 6. The size of the latter problem is currently unknown.<br>
