Floyd: House, System & Network status

Floyd is the project name for 1401 Floyd Ave consisting of a home automation system, networking and internet presence

The Floyd project is an attempt to automate a house as much as possible with (most of the time) reasonable technology choices. So far, a good 30% of choices have turned out to be bleeding edge as opposed to leading edge technologies, mostly proving that more research and less hype goes a long way towards reducing surprises (rocket scientist to figure that one out?).

What does Floyd consist of?

Multi-link internet connectivity with dynamic traffic shaping (data is spread over multiple links, when characteristics of one link change -- worst case, a link goes down, routing changes)
Hosting (WEB, JSP, Servlet, PHP, Perl, Email, DNS) for about 30 domains
Private music and movie archive (restricted to internal access only)
Experiments
- Adaptive firewall, reporting near real time to DShield
- Various netsec related test beds
- Secury connectivity (roaming VPN and/or SSH tunneling)
Home automation; automated functions, cameras, security, VoIP, ...
