please correct me, if I am wrong, ( my infinite. newbie-ness, may hereby, be exposed..)
If I want to experiment with a linux mesh network, is all I need: (??) 1) running pc, with linux OS 2) wi fi net-work cards, that play nice with linux 3) mesh network protocols, bound to the above, network cards 4) wash, rinse repeat, with another system with both of these systems re-booted, and running, I should have a mesh network, (??) presuming the antenna, are within, each others range? if I have a wired Ether net card, I just have to bind, the mesh network protocol(s), to build a local wired mesh network (for experimentation, and practice) can I run multiple mesh networking protocols? or would that cause complex, negative, issues? if I could install, two or more cards, with antennas,(on a single linux box) can I configure each card to run a single frequency, and assign a simplex mode, on each channel? (two cards = send + receive @ the node machine?) from what I understand there are really only three wi fi frequencies available.. this method should ( in theory) boost data throughput of the system ?? http://www.naspa.com/node/4102 am I over simplifying, or missing something? here is one such protocol, I am considering, experimenting with http://www.olsr.org/ many more, are listed here.. http://www.dailywireless.org/2004/01/30/mesh-protocols/ thank you, in advance, to those who help reduce, my confusion.. fwc _________________________________________________________________ With Windows Live for mobile, your contacts travel with you. http://www.windowslive.com/mobile/overview.html?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_Refresh_mobile_052008_______________________________________________ EUGLUG mailing list [email protected] http://www.euglug.org/mailman/listinfo/euglug
