SMesh
SMesh is a seamless wireless mesh network being developed by the Distributed System and Networks Lab at Johns Hopkins University. It provides peer-to-peer connectivity, Internet connectivity, and fast handoff to mobile clients across the mesh. Clients get connected automatically through standard DHCP. No software or drivers need to be installed on the mobile devices. SMesh takes care of providing end-to-end connectivity transparently for the clients. SMesh operates in regular 802.11 IBSS mode. Its hierarchical architecture separates the mobile clients from the infrastructure. Clients send and receive data through the infrastructure and do not rely on other clients to forward their packets.
