<h2>Project Goal</h2>
<p>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.</p>
<p>The Dingo project is closely related to the <a
href="../netperf/index.html">Netperf Project</a> which is removing all
the Giant locks from the various network stacks.</p>
