This is the official announcment of the NADS project for Linux.
Network Architecture Discovery and Switching
NADS is a project to provide a specific networking enhancement to Linux to improve client<->server transaction speed by allowing a server to be placed at multiple points on a network and communicate to clients using the interface which is closest to it. It is in a similar spirit to IP routing, but will work without requiring subnetting or any client modfications. It also, incidently, solves the problem of having a server which is also acts as a bridge.
For more information, including illustrations of the idea, please check out our web page at http://www.marko.net/nads and feel free to e-mail any questions you have to us (nads@marko.net). Since this is for senior design for our college (Auburn University), we have a specific schedule for completion (around March) and are required to do thorough documentation.
Currently, the project is still in the design phase (schedules for completion are available on the web site).
