About:
Frottle (Freenet throttle) is a project to control traffic on wireless networks. Such control eliminates the common hidden-node effect even on large scale wireless networks. It is currently only available for Linux wireless ateways using iptables firewalls, with plans to develop a Windows client in the future. It works by scheduling the traffic of each client, using a master node to coordinate actions. This eliminates collisions and prevents clients with stronger signals from receiving bandwidth bias. It has been developed and tested on the large community wireless network of WaFreeNet, and has been found to give a significant improvment in the network usability.
