Features wishlist

Here is a list of features that were requested by users. Don't hesitate to add your feature wish and/or comment !

Title	Description	Comment/Discussion
Drone input	Create a small drone program able to sniff and send traffic to a central pom-ng instance.	The drone's packet filter could be controlled from pom-ng. Multiple drones could connect to a pom-ng input and be handled the same way altogether.
Optional system datastore	Don't make a system datastore mandatory.	This is definitely low priority. Sqlite3 is a good default datastore and is available on most systems. It will probably be implemented if some user requires no datastore at all.
DVBv5 API migration	Migrate DVB inputs to the DVBv5 API.	The DVBv5 API might make things more difficult for the user since you have to select as well the delivery system for the input. Low priority for now. Might change if some card only work with DVBv5.
Protocol signature matching	Allow protocols such as TCP to match the next protocols based on a signature.	This is definitely useful for traffic on non standard ports.
NFS protocol	Create events for NFS requests, including NFSv4 COMPOUND statements.	Example using tshark and awk (doesn't work with NFSv4): http://pastebin.com/ggyVcjV1
Mysql datastore	Implement MySQL support.	Low priority until outputs make more use of datastores.
