   Title:       INTERRUPT LEVEL PROCESSING IN ETHERNET DRIVERS
-  Description: Too many Ethernet drivers do interrupt-level processing with the network

+               to a work queue (and, all use of CONFIG_NET_NOINTS=n should
                be eliminated).
   Status:      Open
   Priority:    Pretty high if you want a well behaved system.
 
+  Title:       UDP MULTICAST RECEPTION
+  Description: The logic in udp_input() expects either a single receive socket or
+               none at all.  However, multiple sockets should be capable of
+               receiving a UDP datagram (multicast reception).  This could be
+               handled easily by something like:
+
+                for (conn = NULL; conn = udp_active (pbuf, conn); )
+
+               If the callback logic that receives a packet responds with an
+               outgoing packet, then it will over-write the received buffer,
+               however.  recvfrom() will not do that, however.  We would have
+               to make that the rule: Recipients of a UDP packet must treat
+               the packet as read-only.
+  Status:      Open
+  Priority:    Low, unless your logic depends on that behavior.
