My thesis work is mostly in German. However I plan to release at least a small summary in english (without simulation results and stuff). Basically the algorithm is based on AODV (a mesh routing alg) and implements a network of cache nodes. DNS-SD is used without any modifications, mDNS is replaced by this new protocol. The most important issues are how to deal with saturated links and especially saturated caches and how to supress traffic effectively in a radio environment. Since these mesh networks may be very large and memory on the OLPC machines is very limited the caches are usually fully satured, and thus we need some really good algorithms for dropping data from the caches without hurting perfomance. The protocol can be used on both IEEE 802.11s mesh networks and on normally routed IP networks. Stay tuned.
