Introduction

During the Lithium code sprint we will focus more on BGP protocol, as most of the features will be done for BGP. We plan on to do some major structure refactoring, to reduce complexity and improve readability of the code. Secondary goals are keeping current with drafts as they evolve, bug fixes and performance/scale improvements.
