[CUWiN-Dev] Questions from Lawrence of CSIR

[Ross Musselman]

Hey guys!

Lawrence Mboweni is working on porting HSLS to the Linksys WRT54G board. 
There are several pieces of information that would be very helpful in 
this process. I'm posting this to the dev-list and hoping that someone 
can help answer his questions.

Problem #1: As part of getting HSLS to run on the Linksys board, 
Lawrence is running into a problem of space. HSLS current takes up about 
1 MB uncompressed. He would like to be able to shrink it to 500KB by 
compressing it. If I'm correct, we generally find that Bzip2 compression 
is the most effective. Am I correct? Also, are there places where he 
should concentrate his efforts in reducing the size of HSLS storage? 
Finally, do we know how much RAM is consumed solely by the HSLS 
protocol? Knowing that is essential to setting a target for shrinking HSLS.

Problem #2: The TelCordia port to linux was based off the 3.4.2.4 
original BSD version of HSLS. How does that compare to our current 
version of HSLS? Should Lawrence be using another version of HSLS to 
start from?

Side question: I know that we are looking at moving from the ETX metric 
to the ETT metric, but I assume that this has not been started by 
anyone. Is there a timetable yet?

Thanks a lot!

Ross
