Tomato is firmware for the WRT54G router. The firmware is simple and it has a very simple and powerful QoS management interface. It enables you do everything you should require from your router.

I like meshed network, I recently discovered a pretty interesting project : It’s the B.A.T.M.A.N. project (better approach to mobile ad-hoc networking). It uses and improved the OLSR protocol specifications.

Their creator explain their motivations here. (link is broken)

You can find some information on the B.A.T.M.A.N. website.
