Re: [Additional] Fw: Possible GSOC project ideas

[Pavel Simerda <psimerda redhat com>]

I would like to remind that NetworkManager's workflow is a configuration workflow. So if any statistics 
checking should be implemented, I suggest a separate daemon with a separate D-Bus API be spawned from 
NetworkManager or separately.
