- Integration of the Configure in run basic functionality;
- Integration of multiple interface support;
- Integration of port statistic for error tracking;
- Integration of controller to controller communication basic functionality;
- Optimization of RT_CLASS_3 startup and forwarding;
- Optimization of isochronuos startup;
