FreedomBox is a community project to develop, design and promote[1] personal servers running free software for distributed social networking, email and audio/video communications.[2] The project was announced by Eben Moglen at the New York ISOC meeting on February 2, 2010.[3] On February 4, 2011, Moglen formed the FreedomBox Foundation to become the organizational headquarters of the project,[4] and on February 18, 2011, the foundation started a campaign to raise $60,000 in 30 days on the crowdfunding service, Kickstarter.[5] The goal was met on February 22,[6] and on March 19, 2011, the campaign ended after collecting $86,724 from 1,007 backers.[5] The project currently describes a FreedomBox as The developers aim to create and preserve personal privacy by providing a secure platform for building federated social networks.[7] This shall be done by creating a software stack that can run on plug computers that can easily be located in individual residences or offices.

Releases[edit] 6LoWPAN. 6LoWPAN is an acronym of IPv6 over Low power Wireless Personal Area Networks.[1] 6LoWPAN is the name of a concluded working group in the Internet area of the IETF.[2] The 6LoWPAN concept originated from the idea that "the Internet Protocol could and should be applied even to the smallest devices,"[3] and that low-power devices with limited processing capabilities should be able to participate in the Internet of Things.[4] The 6LoWPAN group has defined encapsulation and header compression mechanisms that allow IPv6 packets to be sent to and received from over IEEE 802.15.4 based networks.

IPv4 and IPv6 are the work horses for data delivery for local-area networks, metropolitan area networks, and wide-area networks such as the Internet. Likewise, IEEE 802.15.4 devices provide sensing communication-ability in the wireless domain. The inherent natures of the two networks though, are different. The base specification developed by the 6LoWPAN IETF group is RFC 6282. Application areas[edit] DNS - meshwiki. There isn't really a good replacement for the current DNS infrastructure yet on Hyperboria. The new DNS shoud be decentralized, meaning that no single point has total control. If you have a good idea on the new DNS vision come chat in the IRC.

A System Is Only Secure When Nobody Has Total Control — Caleb James DeLisle Current state of DNS on Hyperboria You can use the current DNS to connect to some nodes in the Hyperboria. There isn't a decentralized solution yet. HypeDNS Mikey threw together HypeDNS. Using existing DNS infrastructure This is not about a decentralized DNS for Hyperboria but about making your node easily accessible via the existing DNS infrastructure. When you need to ping your node a lot, copying and pasting the IP address becomes cumbersome.

Efforts in decentralized DNS Note: Alternative DNS roots are not an improvement, it is a replacement of the current DNS. There are some project currently in development that try to accomplish a decentralized/distributed DNS. Namecoin. You Are the Network. Optimization Algorithm for Wireless Mesh Networks - Technologies - KAUST TTI. This advanced algorithm significantly enhances the efficiency and performance of wireless mesh networks (WMNs), an emerging broadband technology. The algorithm is able to determine where interference bottlenecks are present or developing in multi-hop wireless networks and then route the data to overcome these bottlenecks, minimizing or eliminating potential performance issues of the network. This prevents heavy streaming applications, such as video and large file sharing, from dragging down an entire network’s per-formance.

The technology integrates easily with others systems and is compatible with standard networking protocols, including transmission control protocol/In-ternet protocol (TCP/IP) and voice over Internet protocol (VoIP), as well as existing wireless standards such as 802.11a/b/g/n. It also offers a more reliable user experi-ence for time-critical applications, such as VoIP. Technology Details How It Works Why It Is Better IP Protection Benefits Applications Opportunity.
