[Ns-developers] 802.11s mesh model review

[Pavel Boyko]

  Hi,

  I'm happy to announce that 802.11s mesh stack model is stable enough to be 
merged into the mainline. I have created one bug and three code review issues 
for that. They are (in order to be reviewed/resolved):

http://www.nsnam.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=623 -- trivial but really wanted 
patch.

http://codereview.appspot.com/91057/show -- multichannel support in yans wifi 
channel and PHY. Basically each yans PHY has channel id and yans channel 
delivers packets only between PHY with the same channel ids. Channel center 
frequency is calculated from channel id in the standard specific way.
There is a configurable channel switch delay. There is no inter channel 
interference for now, but it can be easily added. For now only mesh interface 
MAC is aware of multichannel PHY.

http://codereview.appspot.com/88093/show -- a bundle of small and harmless 
changes in the wifi module needed to support 802.11s.

http://codereview.appspot.com/88094/show -- the 802.11s model itself. This 
review issue succeed to Faker's review (issue 63188). Most of his comments are 
accepted.

  Everybody is welcome to participate in the review. One can find mesh stack 
arch. description here -- http://www.nsnam.org/wiki/index.php/Mesh and 
original repository here -- https://forge.wenos.ru/hgprojects/ns3dev 

  Best regards,
  Pavel Boyko, IITP
