In OLPC's Cambridge lab there is a set of XO laptops dedicated to testing the mesh network. Currently there are 25 laptops and a school server in this testbed. In addition to their mesh network interface, all the laptops are connected to the Internet via a [http://www.dlink.com/products/?sec=1&pid=133 USB ethernet adapter]. You can do things like reloading the driver/firmware of the wireless interface, scanning/associating to access points, etc.
This is a mesh of 14 xo's that are dedicated to run mesh tests.

A [[Collaboration Network Testbed|second testbed]] has also been established in the Boston area for larger scale testing of both collaboration and networking.

The prototype schoolserver has three mesh interfaces, one on each channel the OLPC mesh uses (1, 6, and 11). It acts as a mesh portal point (MPP) on each mesh subnet, routing between them and the Internet. The schoolserver assigns private addresses (172.18.16.0/20,172.18.32.0/20, and 172.18.48.0/20) to the laptops on each mesh subnet using DHCP, and masquerades traffic outgoing from the mesh to the Internet.

Mesh OLPC Testbed

In OLPC's Cambridge lab there is a set of XO laptops dedicated to testing the mesh network. Currently there are 25 laptops and a school server in this testbed. In addition to their mesh network interface, all the laptops are connected to the Internet via a USB ethernet adapter. You can do things like reloading the driver/firmware of the wireless interface, scanning/associating to access points, etc.

A second testbed has also been established in the Boston area for larger scale testing of both collaboration and networking.

The prototype schoolserver has three mesh interfaces, one on each channel the OLPC mesh uses (1, 6, and 11). It acts as a mesh portal point (MPP) on each mesh subnet, routing between them and the Internet. The schoolserver assigns private addresses (172.18.16.0/20,172.18.32.0/20, and 172.18.48.0/20) to the laptops on each mesh subnet using DHCP, and masquerades traffic outgoing from the mesh to the Internet. We ask that you not establish additional MPPs without discussing it first with us. Send mail to wad at laptop dot org or mbletsas at laptop dot org.

Testbed Reservation System
