Interesting email about new things to be tested in next Wireless Battlemesh. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Dave Taht <dave.taht(a)gmail.com> Date: 2016-12-27 16:55 GMT+01:00 Subject: [Battlemesh] new tests this year? To: Battle of the Mesh Mailing List <battlemesh(a)ml.ninux.org> # Aircaps I would really like big "sniffer" station or three deployed to look at behaviors in the air. # Bigger route tables When I observed wlan-slovenia sending 14 packets of route update due to the size of their mesh, it occurred to me that one thing we have not been testing is what happens when you have that many routes. It would be fairly straightforward to equip the wibed testbed (or another one) with a route table say 2x the size of wlan-slovenia, or guifi, to observe what really happens as devices come and go (setting up same in ns3 might be interesting as well) # 802.11s With eero and google both shipping 802.11s solutions - this is the year of "mesh" - but not a lot is known about how they actually work. Setting up an 802.11s network would be good to add... (or at least invite someone from these places to talk about it) # AP mode adhoc is dying, what can be done with a mixture of adhoc and AP mode? What does powersave due to meshy protocols? # IoT interop 802.14 + X? Another thought is sprinkle devices like the chip or pi3 around as test targets, as well as laptops, etc.... # Mobility *somebody's* gotta have a drone or robot we could fly around the place on a set course with a couple extra wifi antennas attached..... # Distributed address assignment the homenet protocol (hnetd/hncpd) has yet to have a large scale test against it # 802.11ad? -- Dave Täht Let's go make home routers and wifi faster!
