Re: [PLUG] "geek-net" (was: FYI - FIOS/DCAnet)
|
Greetings, all.
I'm new to Philly, and to this list. This may be my first post (though
I can't remember).
I used to have something like the "geek net" being described when I
lived near MIT. It was pretty neat, and worked well enough when the
folks running it weren't stress testing the system.
see here: http://pdos.csail.mit.edu/roofnet/
and here: http://pdos.csail.mit.edu/roofnet/doku.php?id=map
nodes consisted of small form factor PCs with PCI->PCMCIA adaptors and
PCMCIA 802.11b cards with external antenna jacks. On each rooftop was
an omnidirectional antenna.
each node ran a DHCP serving 1918 addresses on its ethernet interface,
unless it was an internet gateway node.
i think the whole project is on sourceforge...
