This page is dedicated to the Tested installed at Universidade Federal Fluminense, Brazil.
Professor Luiz Magalhães and a group of students of Laboratório Midiacom, with the participation of Ricardo Carrano, from OLPC, built this testbed that is designed to study the behavior of a sparse mesh network, and answer the following questions:
- Is a sparse network feasible? What are the practical distances and what can be expected in term of throughput and latency?
- How does the shared Internet mechanisms (aka MPP) behave and what happens when you have multiple gateways?
- What is the effect of mobility on a sparse network?
- What is a good adaptive behavior to multicast/broadcast transmission rates?
- What is the efficiency of the current multicast implementation?
- How OLPC-Mesh compares to the current 802.11s implementation on the Linux Kernel?
The testbed is currently composed of 12 B2-1 prototypes, running the 8.2 distro in a non-gui runlevel.
