**Sprint Dates: Fri 29 April 2011 - Sun 1 May 2011**
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Goals
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Revisit sprint 1
|
||
|
- Gather metrics to determine efficiency of protocols.
|
||
|
- Sizes of routing protocols' packets.
|
||
|
- Number of packets per second/minute/hour transmitted by each
|
||
|
protocol.
|
||
|
- Average amount of traffic during normal operation.
|
||
|
- Determine how many nodes can participate in a mesh before
|
||
|
responsiveness or bandwidth begin to degrade.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Stuff To Bring
|
||
|
|
||
|
- anything that can run babel
|
||
|
- laptops/netbooks
|
||
|
- desktops with wireless cards
|
||
|
- openwrt compatible routers (if you're feeling lucky/adventurous)
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Homework
|
||
|
|
||
|
- install babeld on every machine you plan to bring to the sprint
|
||
|
- \[optional\] install a kernel with support for batman-adv on the same
|
||
|
machines (it's built into the kernel after version 2.6.38+ ) or build
|
||
|
the modules separate from the kernel
|
||
|
- readup on route and ip/ifconfig commands in linux
|
||
|
- readup on ipv6
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Experiments
|
||
|
|
||
|
- network density
|
||
|
- hypothesis: if the nodes are positioned very densely, then the
|
||
|
network quality will degrade.
|
||
|
- test: position nodes at increasing densities starting with evenly
|
||
|
distributed nodes at their maximum effective range, and run tests to
|
||
|
measure network quality at each level of density.
