Multi hop mesh network in mininet-wifi #341

Closed bhatramya closed 3 years ago

bhatramya commented 3 years ago

Is it possible to create a multi-hop mesh network in mininet-wifi? I have checked the example mesh.py, all the stations are connected to each other. I would like to have at least one hop between two stations. Also, can I use a routing protocol in mesh network (like in adhoc.py), since it is using 802.11s?

Thanks and regards, Ramya

Yes, it is possible. This is managed by the routing protocol you are using and not mn-wifi.

Also, can I use a routing protocol in mesh network (like in adhoc.py), since it is using 802.11s?

You can use any routing protocol supported by 802.11s.

Thanks for the quick reply! Can I pass the routing protocol as parameter ex: "proto=olsr"?

Yes. However, you may want to do a git pull and recompile the code with sudo make install before.
