Re: [802.21] ODTONE - An open source MIHF implementation

Daniel-

This discussion seems to be moving from an announcement of the availability of open source software to a product support and promotion discussion.
I believe that this discussion is no longer appropriate as an 802.21 standards effort discussion and should be moved to a private list.

Thank you

Hello Dapeng,

ODTONE focuses on the MIHF part and is a software component. We provide
APIs so that you can easily interface our MIHF with a module you create
for accessing the hardware. This allows ODTONE to be used with any
operating system and hardware. Please have a look at the source, since
we supply a sample LINK_SAP for Linux to showcase how to interface with
the MIHF.

Best regards,
Daniel Corujo

Hi Daniel,

Thanks a lot for sharing this information. It is very interesting.

Is this implementation requiring network card driver upgrade? I mean
does this implementation only require software upgrade (user space or
driver) and do not need any specific hardware support?

Best wishes,
Dapeng liu

Dear all,

ODTONE (Open Dot Twenty One) is an open-source multi-platform MIHF
implementation project.

Although the software is not yet entirely complete, due to popular
demand we have released an alpha version of the code of our ODTONE MIHF
implementation. Alongside the ODTONE MIHF, we also provide a sample
MIH_USER and Linux 802.11 LINK_SAP so that ODTONE users can see how the
API interactions with our MIHF work. We are currently finishing the MIIS
service and adding more support for other operating systems, such as
Windows. Please visit our project page at
http://hng.av.it.pt/projects/odtone or head down directly to our
platform at http://helios.av.it.pt/projects/odtone where you can get the
source code (either via Git repository or a downloadable tar.gz),
download a simple manual for setting up the software, and the means to
submit issues with problems or bugs.
We hope that ODTONE is able to provide a common ground to both academia
research through evaluation and extension of the 802.21 standard, as
well as to the industry on having another implementation to execute
interoperability with.

Best regards and thank you for reading,
Daniel Corujo
