Mesh Networking (for FxOS)
IRC: #mesh on irc.mozilla.org
These instructions worked for setting up an ad-hoc network in FxOS: http://www.olsr.org/?q=olsr_on_android
Goals
ack/secretrobotron
We'd like to have a mesh networking track at Mozfest 2014.
- One-button mesh networking for FxOS
- Let's see how much of WebRTC we can get working
- We should (already?) have TCP and UDP available
- Slightly less interesting, because these APIs are not available for all web apps (only packaged apps)
Log
Keeping track of what we're doing, and some things we learn along the way.
Thu May 29
We (ack, ehsan) set up an ad-hoc network in FxOS on mako (using http://www.olsr.org/?q=olsr_on_android as a guide) and a couple of laptops. FxOS disconnects sporadically from the ad-hoc network, possibly due to some timeout in Gaia (ad-hoc networks aren't detected/supported yet).
Next steps:
- (ack) apply tzimmermann's patch (https://bug928362.bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=8425481) and try to get a stable ad-hoc network on my mako devices
- (ehsan) figure out exactly what OLSR does
