+The goal of the parallel [http://www.genericproxy.org/ Generic Proxy Project] is the development and implementation of a (prototype) device that provides internet proxy functionality to a (community) (wireless) network, supplementary equipped with a simple user (web) interface and management features for the network operator. The device should be a self contained and embedded board. If there are a limited number of gateways to the public internet, the bandwidth to the internet is proportionally limited and randomly distributed. Balancing the load over the available bandwidth will decrease congestion on the relatively small (wireless) backbone. The "Generic Proxy" appliance aims at resolving this issue in a flexible manner. Adding bandwidth and/or extra gateways to the network will become a manageable function of the network.
 
 The project is an initiative of Hogeschool Leiden and is sponsored by [http://www.nlnet.nl Stichting NLnet]. Project results and prototype equipment are donated to Stichting Wireless Leiden and all software developments are made available to the Open Source Community.
