- Announcing the CORNELL GATEDaemon CONSORTIUM
-
- The Cornell Gatedaemon Project produces "gated" (pronounced gate-dee),
- a modular software program which supports multiple network routing
- protocols and protocol families. Gated is used by hundreds of
- individuals and organizations around the world. It is used by
- researchers, implementors, and industry as:
-
- % a platform for new network routing protocol prototyping and
- deployment
-
- % a source of routing protocol reference implementations to test
- against
-
- % a distribution mechanism of new protocol implementations
-
- % a bootstrapping facility providing the core for the
- development of commercial products
-
- % a means of access to leading edge network research and
- development
-
- The GATEDaemon Consortium presents a formal structure to support and
- expand the current successful collaborations already in place to
- develop gated functionality. The consortium will:
-
- % allow functionality needed by the community to be delivered on
- a more timely basis
-
- % build a broader funding base for a predictable future
-
- % streamline licensing procedures
-
- % improve technology transfer between academic and industry
-
- % influence and educate the vendor community
-
- % develop a structure to train new people in the technology
-
- Membership is open to all organizations interested in supporting and
- participating in development of internetwork routing protocols.
- Membership is not a prerequisite for licensing of gated source code.
-
- Membership benefits will include at least:
-
- % active discussions of development features and goal setting
-
- % in-depth technical seminars on new gated features and capabilities
-
- % assurance of the continued availability and development of an
- important resource
-
- % internships, where an organization can send an employee to
- work and learn about routing software with gated development
- staff
-
- % sabbatical/contract funding, whereby an organization with an
- employee who is making contributions to gated can receive
- Consortium funding for that work.
