From: <matt.bow...@ewb-uk.org> Later this year I will be travelling to Nepal to implement a mesh network and I am hoping that you might be able to give me a helping hand.
My network will provide 14 schools with internet access and VOIP. I intend to use 3 NS2's for the basestation with a single MP or NS2 mounted at each school. The 14 schools will act in a mesh. Connected via Ethernet to each school node will be a further MP acting on an independent channel. This MP will feed a local computer via Ethernet and will also provide a local wifi hot spot for users in the school. Each school is a central hub for the community and I hope that eventually they will expand the network by adding further MPs to form a local mesh neighbourhood around each school. RadioMobile indicates my links are feasible and all seems well. Except I'm confused with some basics: - MPs come with SECN 1.1 installed. What SECN version should I therefore install on the NS2's? Doesn't appear to be an equivalent in download.villagetelco.org - I want to implement a server to visualise the network, provide user accounts and billing - which server package is best for this? Is the VT Server now excluded because I am using SECN? - Finally, the latest Ubuntu version is 12.94LTS or 13.04. Should I definitely use 10.04 as advised in the wiki pages? I hope I'm not repeating covered ground, any help much appreciated. Matt -- Too many emails?
