Description : Asychronous Scanning Engine
>From the web page:
"Hummingbird is a module-based asynchronous scanning engine.
It is a generic platform useful for scanning large sets of
target devices in very short periods of time. So we can get
better acquainted, let's qualify some of those terms:
* Scan: to construct and send packets or frames across a
network and decode and record the responses (or lack
thereof)
* Large sets: Targets on the order of several hundred to
several hundred thousand devices
* Target devices: IPv4, IPv6 or Ethernet devices
* Short periods of time: Packet injection and capturing is
split into different threads of execution enabling
complete asynchronous execution (the above example took
two seconds to scan 53 hosts because hummingbird had to
wait for the responses before exiting -- if it didnt
wait, the program would send its packets and exit long
before all of the responses would have had a chance to
trickle in. Trust me, this scales much better for large
target sets)"

Hello,
This is an automatic mail sent to close the RFP you have reported or
are involved with.
Your RFP wnpp bug is being closed because of the following reasons:
- It is, as of today, older than 365 days.
- It hasn't had any activity recently.
As this is an automatic procedure, it could of course have something
wrong and probably it would be closing some bugs that are not
intended by owners and submitters (like you) to be closed, for
example if the RFP is still of your interest, or there has been
some kind of activity around it. In that case, please reopen the
bug, do it, DO IT NOW! (I don't want to be blamed because of
mass closing and not let people know that they can easily reopen
their bugs ;-).
To re-open it, you simply have to mail control@bugs.debian.org
with a body text like this:
reopen 315900
thanks bts
Further comments on the work done in the bug sent to
315900@bugs.debian.org would be truly welcomed.
Anyway, if you have any kind of problems when dealing with
the BTS, feel free to contact me and I'd be more than happy to help
you on this: <damog@debian.org>.
A similar process is being applied to other kind of wnpp bugs.
Thanks for your cooperation,
-- David Moreno Garza <damog@debian.org>.
