A Fully Automatic Swap Server to provide nework based swap service without the need of configuration on either side.
To support low level diskless clients some kind of nework based swap service is needed to make even booting possible. Ubuntu LTSP supports nbd (Network Block Device) swapping through the nbd-server and nbd-client packages. Sadly these packages currently need a fair amount of manual setup. Scope of this spec is to solve this problem and modify the two packages so a fully automatic network swapping is guaranteed if you just install the ndb-server and nbd-client packages on the machines.
