OLSR-NG WORKSHOP
Dear reader,
we -
http://www.funkfeuer.at - a free wireless community network
in Vienna - are proud to announce our first official olsr-ng
workshop. If you happen to be around in Vienna on
* Saturday, 27th of January *
14:00 - 18:00 (going out & party afterwards, open end)
then feel invited to join us at our
http://olsr.funkfeuer.at - OLSR-
NG project presentation.
* Location:
http://www.metalab.at/wiki/LageWho should attend?* Researchers and students of computer sciences or similar fields who
are interested in working in the field of mobile ad-hoc networks
(MANETs)
* You should be good at C programming in addition
What is OLSR-NG?Worldwide, many community WLAN networks work with OLSR (RFC 3626) as
a base internal routing protocol (c.f.
www.olsr.org for a
reasonable implementation).
However the most commonly used implementation from olsr.org has -
although it is very adaptable and in fact was adapted many times - a
few drawbacks which we can notice in real existing WLAN community
networks.
Thanks to our sponsor
netidee IPA/
www.nic.at we are able to launch a bounty
competition for enhancing OLSR. We call this new project "OLSR-
NG" (next generation). But you can substitute any name you like -
batman-olsrmix or whatever. The point being:
>> The very best approaches and patches for OLSR will be rewarded
with money prizes in addition <<<
The central goals of OLSR-NG are:- scalability: we want to scale up to 1000+ nodes (real world, not simulation if possible. Simulations will be helpful but won't count.
- improve and/or replace the basic algorithms (fisheye/ETX/MPR/...)
- improve the C code for the current olsr.org implementation (+security audit)
- write a new RFC from the results we have learned .
Details will be presented on Saturday, 27th. of Jan. (language will
be english for international guests)
Thanks go to funkfeuer.at and especially
netidee NIC.AT (IPA) who made this
possible.
