== BATMAN-adv ==
== Mesh Protocol ==


The [http://www.open-mesh.org/projects/batman-adv/wiki BATMAN-adv] protocol is the mesh protocol. It's an application that we're installing onto OpenWRT and configured with [http://downloads.open-mesh.org/batman/manpages/batctl.8.html batman-ctl].  
[http://www.open-mesh.org/projects/batman-adv/wiki BATMAN-adv] was the protocol that we had assumed we'd be able to use. Unfortunately, it looks as though it won't support tunneling over the internet, which is one of the primary features we had been hoping to implement. See [https://lists.sudoroom.org/pipermail/mesh-dev/2014-October/000019.html our mailing list convo].  


Status: Implemented
We're now looking into [https://github.com/axn/bmx6 bmx6] and [https://github.com/jech/babeld babel]. We're currently experimenting with both of these protocols to better understand their appropriateness for our project.
 
Status: In progress
