Hi, I am part of a grup of italian wifi enthusiasts,
ninux.org.
See our live network (5 Ghz, OLSR powered) on
http://map.ninux.org with
live stats of our more than 200 nodes.
Once upon a time, I had a gw (
gw.ik0xfa.amsat.org, 44.134.33.168) that I
want to resume, hopefully connecting the 44net and eventually announcing
our networks via BGP (we are already announcing on 5 uplinks on the public
internet our IPv4 nets and IPv6 slice).
We have peerings at the NameX internet exchange point of Rome (via a
completely wireless unencrypted radio backhaul), university connections and
several commercial internet providers are giving us free support, native
IPv6 and we are also embracing an upcoming intercity wan network via HAM
repeaters on the mountains.
I see that the the HAM group of our community may enjoy an OLSR experiment
on the 44 net.
Bye,
Pierluigi

is that OLSR can
actually
run over any interface.
OLSR Is usually done over ad-hoc wifi interface, but you can run it over
-say- an ethernet link between two nodes ..; or -why not- a VPN tunnel.
So, in the end, even if there is no direct radio-contact with other
nodes,
you could -sort of- "fake" it by
connecting nodes over the internet. It
would probably only require to set up a (say) OpenVPN server in some
datacenter.
I never thought of this. Very interesting. I may have found a winter
project to try. Perhaps I can find some folks on the ampr net 44 list
to try this with?
