[Fwd: dtn-interest digest, Vol 1 #350 - 1 msg]

Here's an interesting message from the DTN mailing list about a DTN
implementation on LinkSys wireless routers:

Dear All,

Just to let you know that together with Felipe Gil Castineira (University
of Vigo), we've ported the DTN ref implementation on a Linksys WRT54G
loaded with openwrt.

All the gory details and the files are available from

Best wishes,

Laurent Franck

PS: I noticed that I forgot to post the modified source code. I'll do this
as soon as I got back to work on Monday.

Another Filesystem Appears From the Ether....

This is interesting. Someone's taken TinyURL (a service that takes annoyingly long URLs and turns them into short URLS) and used it to store files! It's an interesting examples of how applications can have side effects/side uses that the creators do no predict.

Tracking Cell Phones for Real-Time Traffic Data

This project sounds interesting. It's related the mobility model work
that we've looked at, so it will be interesting to see what comes of it.

Broadband from Airships

Check out this slashdot story, broadband access through the airships.

I thought this is a brilliant idea for post-trauma rescue missions,
but heck, the first comment on slashdot says just the reverse ;-)

packETH 1.3

This program looks like it might be useful for some of us in the group.
It allows you to create and send any possible packet or sequence of
packets on the ethernet.

LoBand for slow-speed connections

I found this post on the DTN mailing list. It sounds interesting:
************************************************************

Loband is a free service, designed specifically to improve access to online information over slow connections.

The newest version of the Loband service is now accessible at http://www.loband.org . It can reduce the time it takes for a web page to load by up to 10 times, making Internet access easier and less expensive in low bandwidth environments.

Using the service is as simple as going to http://www.loband.org and typing in the address of the desired page. Loband will then present a simplified version of that page. Loband works by removing unnecessary adverts and graphics while retaining the text, links and layout of the site. The original page or individual images can be viewed at any time if desired.

NatStat 0.0.2-6 (Default branch)

Would anyone in the group find this program helpful?
