learned on the 26c3

Hi,
26c3 is over and we had quite some experiments going on. Not everything went good, but we learned a lot:

  • babel did not survive the hack-center.
  • ahcp did survive.
  • measurement needs to be improved

That does not sound much, but i think it’s valuable information as we can now concentrate on some things and forget the other.

Openimp did not run good, it had a memory leak we got not fixed during 26c3, so the router kept rebooting after a few minutes.
Babel also hat real trouble, it ate up a lot of cpu and memory, it felt like olsr 3 years ago.
A few harddrives did not survive the heat of colo, so a part of the topology data are maybe lost.
Firmware building and development did work quite good, but could be better, that was mainly my verpeilung, there is room for improvement.

I will continiue the tests in my local mesh neighbourhood without babel and without ipv4 based olsr, so expect more firmware builds soon.

  1. “A few harddrives did not survive the heat of colo, so a part of the topology data are maybe lost.”

    But we had a second topology-collector up and running which hardrives survived the congress. So no topology-data is lost.

    Starting from Dec. 28, 9:23 pm we even created an image every minute which can be seen @ http://81.89.99.20/26c3topo/
