The Dingo project is a collection of work that needs to be done - to clean up and advance the network stack. The overriding goal is - to remove duplicated functionality while also adding new features - that will make FreeBSD easier to use both for the network engineer - and experimenter and for the first time user.
- -The Dingo project is closely related to the Netperf Project which is removing all - the Giant locks from the various network stacks.
