• Website re-design and update began today.

• The Inter-Cluster routing works. Implementation has stalled. Some more work remains to be done but we (Anandha Gopalan and Sanjeev Dwivedi defended our theses in a joint presentation). Source code version 0.1 is ready but still needs to be tuned before it can be released.

• The Intra-Cluster routing works  Inter-Cluster Implementation going on fast forward

• Sample modules tested, added functionality to add  proc entries for use later on.

• Adding routing functionality in the kernel, trying to use modules instead of working on changing the kernel code.

• Added add and delete functions to add and delete kernel routing table entries.

• Long break ..... gone home to India.

• HELLO messages for messaging implemented and tested.

• Project tested on the ad-hoc mode, works fine :)

• Working on trying to get the project running in the ad-hoc mode.

• Our project thus far, ran and tested on the new laptops.

• Dell True Mobile wirelss cards (as part of the laptop) tested in ad-hoc mode.

• PCMCIA package for wireless cards downloaded and installed from http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Tools.html

• Red Hat Linux 7.2 installed on the laptops, with the kernel upgraded to 2.4.8.

• Four Dell c610 laptops are welcomed to the project.

• Problem of manipulating routing tables from user space solved.

• Intra-cluster routing framework put in place.
• Exploring the possibility of adding/deleting routing entries and maintaining the cache from user space.

• Laptops and more WaveLan IEEE 802.11b cards ordered for the project.

• Back after a long break, last semester was too tough to work on the project more.
• Tested the old code to make sure that everything was working fine.

• Laptops given back to the dept for CS Day.

• Timers enhanced to include HELLO timer, for the HELLO PACKETS which will be used to test the state of the network.
• Frame work for inter-cluster clustering algorithm put in place.

• Intra-cluster clustering algorithm finished with some assumtions about its routing, (basic principle used was broadcast).

• WaveLan cards tested in the ad-hoc mode.

• Linux installed on the laptops along with the timer patch. WaveLan IEEE 802.11b cards tested on those kernels.

• Parts of intra-cluster algorithm tested and some modifications done.
• Laptops received to do some testing using them.

• Basic frame work for the (α, t) cluster in place.

• RAW sockets tested using some examples.

• Multiple timers tested and are working fine.

• Timer patches installed for using multiple timers. Installed from http://home.concepts-ict.nl/~rhdv/posix.html

• RedHat Linux 7.1 installed on carwan.cs.pitt.edu, it is now a dual boot with Win 2000.
• New kernel downloaded (2.4.5) and installed.

• We welcome our new machine for the project (A Gateway PIV 1.4Ghz machine), which will be aptly named carwan.cs.pitt.edu
