Well, it is still crashing on people sometimes (heavily under BSD as I 
witnessed last night) and the details about how to implement a transport 
protocol are not documented (but there are 2 functioning implementations). I 
think the answer depends on your crash-tolerance level :-). Also, I doubt you 
can do the IPv6 version in an afternoon, the code is a bit too convoluted for 
that if you never looked at it :-) I did TCP (IPv4) in about 6h, but I knew 
my way around the code (admitted, I had to fix some other issues in the core 
to make it work during that time). 

But don't let this discourage you, you can probably do it (under Linux, BSD 
will not be stable enough).
