Hi, Marvell has been responsible for the mesh architecture. We are monitoring this list very regularly for any comments / ideas / suggestions. We welcome the same from you. I am putting some answers inline (see Ronak >>).
Thanks Ronak -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mike C. Fletcher Sent: Thursday, April 12, 2007 9:55 PM To: OLPC Devel Subject: Stupid Question: Who's in charge of the mesh network systems? We have a mesh networking specialist who is interested in working with the project. One of his projects involves (as I understand it) analysis of pair-wise contact data to allow partitioned-network operations that use gathered motion pattern information to produce automated "sneaker net" effects. (If Billy goes to town every week with his Dad and no one else in the village goes to town, the network routes partitioned-network updates through Billy's computer). I believe that's a longer-term plan, btw. Ronak >> I haven't heard of anyone talk about this yet. But I am also not sure if we will end up in such partitioned networks. I may be wrong. We will only know more when real deployments begin. He's also interested in work with the mesh network controller, I believe to optimise it for power consumption via traffic shaping algorithms that reduce "active" state usage... if I understood that correctly, I *believe* that's the stuff he just finished working on. I'm not sure what the current state of the mesh network solution is (i.e. whether it's already finished and locked down, or just starting up). Ronak >> Currently, we have most of the mesh networking solution ready and up and running. We are working on a quite a few things related to system power savings, security in mesh networks, etc. Anyway, probably someone who does hardware/OS level hacking should be chatting with him to give him an idea of where the implementation is, what can be changed on what time frame, that kind of thing. All of this hardware stuff gives me a headache :) , Mike -- ________________________________________________ Mike C.
