Hello,
I'm doing a research on 802.11s. I need to study the performance of a
scenario that permits to cover a university campus.
MPP (Mesh Portal): composed by 2 part. A interface that communicate with the
wired internet and another that uses 802.11s to communicate with MPs.
MP (Mesh Point): uses 802.11s.
MAP (Mesh Access Point): composed by 2 part. A interface that uses 802.11s
to communicate with MPs and another that uses 802.11 to spread access at the
network to the stations that uses the classical 802.11.
STA (Station): has a 802.11 wi-fi card and access to to internet through the
MAP. Stations are in mobility.
The scenario is like the one illustrated below:

I've installed the module for HWMP from here: http://hippo.mipt.ru/hwmp/
Is it for you possible to simulate traffic starting from internet to
stations and from station to internet? If yes, do you have an idea to
implement this scenario in tcl?
Thank you very much
