Hi,
There was discussion of this at the SF sprint.
As I understand it, openWRT (from the Shuttleworth project) can be
installed on
a TP-Link router. It can be configured to serve connected XOs (such as
in a classroom)
on a mesh. It could also serve as a gateway to the school server's LAN.
If this could work, then the schoolserver would not provide DHCP (since
the mesh potato routers would
have fixed addresses on the schoolserver LAN) and would not provide
ejabberd (since that function is
served by the classroom-level mesh).
Presumably each classroom mesh would be a subnet of the LAN so that
openWRT would act as a gateway
for messages directed at the schoolserver.
Is my understanding in the ballpark?
Is there someone in the community who is working on this capability or
is an appropriate reference for further
information?
Tony
