Multiple Interface Multiple Channel (MIMC) #23

Open bkothari opened 11 years ago

bkothari commented 11 years ago

Is there any kind of support available to run 802.11s on Multiple Interfaces of a single node?

As of now, I have been using latest cozybit source code, however, code does not seem to work with multiple Interfaces.

Please let me know in case you need more information from my side.

Hi bkothari,

We do support multiple interfaces, but not multi-channel support (yet). You should see patches for this in the next few weeks though. In the meantime, for a multi-channel mesh you could try bridging them: not ideal but gets the job done.

Cheers,

Javier

Is Multi-channel multi-interface supported meanwhile? If so since which revision. Also I wonder how it would be configured. Same MESH_ID for both devices I guess. What about ip-addresses and prefix length for each interface?

Yes, Bob and Thomas have worked on this before. However, this is not upstream.

Please refer the following: https://github.com/cozybit/open80211s/wiki/Multi-Channel-MBSS

If you have questions, just ask.

With regard to upstreaming, my feeling was that it was a bit too complicated for some fairly modest gains (although we didn't fully explore things like disabling CCA in the driver). Maybe doing this stuff at a higher level instead of inside the driver could reduce complexity?

Thanks for the updates. Looks good! I hope this feature gets main stream soon (the one or the other way). /axel
