The path selection protocol implemented in o11s is Hybrid Wireless Mesh Protocol (HWMP) combining on-demand distributed path selection (reactive) and also proactive tree-oriented approach.
For proactive approach, the function "hwmp_rann_frame_process" is to process the Root Announcement frame generated by the root mesh STA accordingly. Then, send unicast PREQ back to the root mesh STA and root mesh STA sends the PREP back. This establishes the path between root mesh STA and targeted mesh STA. Data transfer will follow then if any. This could be a good reference to you: http://cozybit.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/ieee-80211s-the-wlan-mesh-standard.pdf Also, please refer the following on how to use o11s: https://github.com/cozybit/open80211s/wiki/HOWTO --- ChunYeow On Mon, Nov 17, 2014 at 10:07 AM, newbie via Devel <[email protected]> wrote: > hello, everyone !
