The XO laptops may find themselves in a number of different networking scenarios. OLPC explicitly identifies four scenarios, and currently suggests two of these scenarios for use in deployments.
Other pages on this WiKi which relate to this one are: Networking, Mesh Network Details, and Connectivity. Related unfilled stubs are Network Configurations, and Scenario Taxonomy.
For a discussion on priority of various scenarios, please see the talk page.
Suggested Scenarios
Simple Mesh
- no access point
- no school server
- currently aiming to support up to 15 laptops in this case (see the talk page for discussion)
School WiFi
- access points
- school server with Jabber server
- only one server at a time
- this is what is deployed in Peru
Troublesome Scenarios
In OLPC's experience, the following scenarios will work with small numbers of laptops, but should not be used for larger numbers of laptops.
Simple WiFi
- access points (these tend not to handle multicast very well, 1Mbit/s peak)
- no school server
- this is what G1G1 laptops will tend to encounter
- typically in the developed world
School Mesh
- no access point
- school server with Jabber server
