In regards to the "Linux kernel network stack integration" project
mentioned, we've discussed the network simulation cradle before
(http://research.wand.net.nz/software/nsc.php), and Tom had done some
preliminary work (http://code.nsnam.org/tomh/ns-3-nsc/), although it
looks like it hasn't been touched months.

Is the goal of this GSOC project to have a student start from scratch
on a port of the Linux stack into ns-3?  That is probably duplicating
a lot of work the NSC people have already done...we could broaden the
scope of this project to mention/include NSC.
