BattleMeshV6

We would like to give to the 'Battle of the Mesh' the flavor of a tournament with a social character. If you are a mesh networking enthusiast, community networking activist, or have an interest in mesh networks you might find this bunch of crazy folks gathering for the Wireless Battle of the Mesh V6 very interesting. This event is also an opportunity to meet developers from the most popular open source mesh protocol implementations (Babel, B.A.T.M.A.N. L3 and L2, BMX, IEEE 802.11s, OLSR) and watch their ideas compete. If you have implemented an interesting mesh protocol capable of running on OpenWrt Backfire you can take part in the tournament too.

For the weekend just before the above dates, we are working on a BattleMeshV6_Warmup similar to the one last year. This is still work in progress, but we hope to visit a new wifi community on Samsø.

What

In brief: We will deploy a wireless mesh network over the campus, run different routing protocols on top of it, perform some tests and see which routing protocol behaves better.

Side activities will be organized. Workshops and talks on wireless topics are on the time table:
