<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>
