Re: [Server-devel] [XSCE] Fwd: [support-gang] Number of XO-1 per AP on XSCE - one data point

2014-04-07 Thread George Hunt
This number resonates with me.  Kevin Gordon, in Toronto, was interested in
XSCE primarily because it would offer ejabberd, without which the factorial
N conversations taken two at a time would fill the air waves at N=13.

I'm responding this way because of your statement that the clients were
non-XOs. My guess is that no AP will be able to handle more than 13
without ejabberd (and the registration process between the XO and the
server which enables it).

 To: Gang support-g...@laptop.org


 The maximum usable number of XO-1's (12.1.0) appears to be 14 using as AP
 TP-Link MR3020 on XSCE 0.4 RC1 on XO-1.5  with about 10 non-XO's showing in
 neighborhood. Number 15 is unreliable at connecting. With 14, simple
 connections to MOODLE appear reliable.   XSCE 0.4 was used since it was the
 only one available last September as school started.

 Testing DKMS libertas.ko file provided by quozl.org (
 http://dev.laptop.org/~quozl/12757/dkms with chmod 744 to file) to
 establish baseline for Mesh Potato-2 Basic AP replacement of MR3020.
 Presence of XO-1 with no modification appears to have no effect  on
 connections by modified XO-1's (as contrasted to XO-1's with old .ko file).

 Hoping MP-2 will push this past 25.

 Supplying this one data point since I had previously ask this question
 here.

Re: [Server-devel] [XSCE] Fwd: [support-gang] Number of XO-1 per AP on XSCE - one data point

It would be interesting to see the same test with XSCE, ejabberd, and
three APs on separate channels.  This would reduce the processing
burden on the AP CPUs, and reduce the air time requirement.
