frottle: Defeating the Wireless Hidden Node Problem

Posted by Hemos on Monday August 4, 2003 @04:45AM from the wipe-it-out dept.

jasonjordan writes "The West Australian FreeNet Group was the first to go War Flying - and now we've released "frottle" (freenet throttle) - an open source project to control & manage traffic on fixed wireless networks. Such control eliminates the common hidden-node effect even on large scale wireless networks. frottle works by scheduling client traffic by using a master node to co-ordinate - effectively eliminating collisions! Developed and tested on the large community wireless network of WaFreeNet, We've found it has given us a significant improvement in network usability and throughput. "

They are sub-human fecal debris anyway. No harm done. Kill 'em all.
