WiBed, a testbed platform for WiFi experiments

Wibed is a platform for facilitating the quick and cost-efficient acquisition, deployment, and management of testbeds based on commodity IEEE802.11 routers and enabling experimentation with wireless technology including the modification of low-level system components such as physical and link layer mechanisms, and network and transport layer protocols. WiBed was used, with partial (:-P) success in WBMv7 as the experiment firmware.

babel does not care

Babel is a robust routing protocol that just doesn't care. While initially designed to be reasonably robust and efficient on both wireless mesh networks and classical wired networks, over the years Babel has been extended with delay-based routing for overlay networks, with radio-interference aware routing, and even with source-specific routing. Whatever you throw at it, Babel doesn't care, it just keeps pushing packets in the right direction.
The talk will be elementary, and require little networking background.

the cjdnsway of networking

I'll cover the following things, depending on the interests of the attendees:
- explain the different components of cjdns by example: addressing, routing, switching
- dream up and discuss use cases for encrypted p2p networking
- show ways of integrating applications with cjdns, on top of just using the IPv6 network it provides
- set up cjdns on all kinds of platforms, including OpenWrt, Android, Firefox OS

GNUnet in community mesh networks

useful for wireless community networks as it would finally allow participants to technically implement individual pico-peering agreements -- not only for authentication and keying, but also for channel selection and minimum-transfer-rate agreements/ consensus.

source specific routing in babel

multihoming is a difficult problem, and, unsurprisingly enough, there are many techniques for multihoming, none of which are applicable in all cases. The mesh networking community has standardised on using tunnels for multihoming (as with the "smart gateway" OLSR plugin). The home networking community has chosen a different solution, called "source-specific routing.".
The first complete implementation of source-specific routing was done by Matthieu Boutier and Juliusz Chroboczek, and was implemented within the Babel routing protocol. In this talk, I will explain what are the difficulties with multihoming, explain how source-specific routing solves many of those difficulties, and give an outline of Babel's support for source-specific routing.

peer to peer IPv6 networking in cjdns

Cjdns builds end-to-end encrypted, peer-to-peer IPv6 networks with useful properties -- the biggest so far being Hyperboria. We'll give a brief introduction to cjdns, its goals, and design decisions. We'll also show a few interesting use cases, and what the Hyperboria community is up to.

redistributing the web with IPFS

IPFS is a global, versioned, peer-to-peer filesystem. It combines good ideas from Git, BitTorrent, Kademlia, SFS, and the Web. It is like a single BitTorrent swarm, exchanging Git objects. IPFS provides an interface as simple as the HTTP web, but with permanence built in. I'll give a brief introduction to IPFS, then show its potential use in mesh networks, for example as a distributed content cache.

openWRT vs. FCC - forced firmware lockdown?

The new FCC rules are in effect in the United States from June 2nd 2015 [1] for WiFi devices such as Access Points. They require to have the firmware locked down so End-Users can't operate with non-compliant parameters (channels/frequencies, transmit power, DFS, ...). In response, WiFi access point vendors start to lock down firmwares to prevent custom firmwares (such as OpenWRT) to be installed, using code signing, etc. Since the same type of devices are often sold world wide, this change does not only affect routers in the US, but also Europe, and this will also effect wireless communities.
We would like to discuss:
* What are your experiences with recently certified WiFi Hardware
* How can we still keep OpenWRT on these devices
* What can we suggest to Hardware vendors so that they keep their firmware open for community projects while still compliant with the FCC?

experimenting with multi path TCP in VPNs

Multipath TCP "aims at allowing a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) connection to use multiple paths to maximize resource usage and increase redundancy" [source: wikipedia]. This talk reports an experience on configuring and testing VPNs on top of Multipath TCP.

Sunday 9th August 2015

Do-what-you-want day. There are no programmed talks or workshops on Sunday, we can continue working on projects or just hang out together.

Lightening talks

The lightening talks will be held as self organized sessions. Feel free to pick any time without a talk and present your project/…. A good time is probably in the evening after the talks. That's also why they stop at (latest) 20:00.
