Difference between revisions of "Mesh/Network topology"

All routers run the batman-adv mesh routing protocol. This is a layer 2 protocol (operating at the ethernet layer). The street-level 2.4 ghz routers should ideally be able to function in the event that e.g. an earthquake takes out all of the point to point and point to multipoint rooftop nodes (more alignment sensitive) and the mesh should remain functional, though it could become segmented.

The relays (see the internet connectivity section) also run batman-adv, so mesh traffic can flow from one part of the mesh, through the internet, through a relay, and into another part of the mesh if some of the mesh nodes are connected to the internet.
