Description

Context

We are using several third-party packages for performing trivial work and introducing dependencies for that reason is better to be avoided.

Proposed Solution

  • We should drop the usage of the following crates:
  • bit_iter
  • #469
  • crc
  • crossbeam_channel
  • #426
  • eui48
  • #402
  • #425
  • #424

See Also

Issue #459, for a related Issue with crc.

  3. Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points; begin by locating usages of the unchecked crates bit_iter, crc, crossbeam_channel, and eui48, and review issue #459 for related crc work. Done means those dependencies and their usages are removed while the project still builds.
