My name is Carlos Ferreira and I would like to ask for you assistance in a matter, involving a persona that uses the alias Outback Dingo.<br>I'm asking for your assistance because I decided to Google the e-mail <a href="mailto:outbackdingo@gmail.com" target="_blank">outbackdingo@gmail.com</a> and I stumbled upon an article at the Nightwing development page <a href="http://nightwing.lugro-mesh.org.ar/doc/corriendo_dingos/en/" target="_blank">URL</a><br>
<br>This e-mail is a forwarding of a dialogue that started at the FreeBSD-net mailing list, but became personal when I was contacted directly by the so called, outback dingo.I only noticed that we were no longer talking through the mailing list, when I saw that the emails were not going to the mailing list.<br>
<br>Here's my problem. I'm a PhD studdent at the University of Aveiro and I was about to send some information regarding my work that is not published, but before doing that, I decided to find some information about this person.<br>
<br>By reading the information on the Nightwing website, it seems that Outback Dingo did some straigh-forward plagiarism and violated GPLv3. <br>What I wanted to ask is, do you have more information about this person? I hope that the information I passed is not enough for him to use my work, the same way he used yours. <br>
<br>I hope you can help me.<br><br>Thank you for your attention,<br>Carlos Ferreira.<br><br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">---------- Forwarded message ----------<br>From: <b class="gmail_sendername">Carlos Ferreira</b> <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:carlosmf.pt@gmail.com" target="_blank">carlosmf.pt@gmail.com</a>></span><br>

<br>I'm undergoing a PhD Program at the University of Aveiro. My thesis theme is about a Decision Model for Distributed Wireless environments. My first premise is, there should be no central authority, not even for IP address management. Each network node would have at least two wireless interfaces, one for LAN and another for the backbone (autonomic) network, creating the backhaul. <br>
The main different of this protocol, is the fact that each node never sees/knows the complete mesh network topology, only a depth limited neighbourhood view. <br><br>Using a delegation/gateway system attached with a reinforcement learning process, it is able to learn and maintain near-to-optimum paths towards a specific node and because of that, P2P communication is established.<br>
It also uses a scheme for fast packet forwarding, inspired on the MPLS label system to speed up the packet forwarding.<br><br><br><br></div><div><div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

I'm a researcher and I have developed a communications protocol for mesh networks, which functions as a fully distributed protocol. No centralized management whatsoever, not even for IP address management.<br>
But I'm having trouble in increase the throughput, since the protocol is fully implemented at user-level, despite working at the Layer 2. I was hopping to increase the speed by using netmap.</div><div>

Hello Luigi (and to all)<br>
<br>
I was able to successfully compile the netmap module for OpenWRT but<br>
without drivers. According to the information in the README file which<br>
comes with the source, the drivers are not necessary but with some "reduced<br>
performance".<br>
<br>
I would like to ask how much degradation should be expected. I would like<br>
to run some tests to see if everything is ok and if the port was successful.<br>
<br>
<br>
Thank you for the help!<br>
</div></div><div><div><div><div><br>
