High Performance Node - Software

Firmware: "bokkie1 mesh distribution"

This software specification is based on the current FreeBSD version of the firmware. I have named it "bokkie1 mesh distribution" as a working title (for want of a better name - please provide a nice snazzy one)

• A script is used to build the current firmware build based on the platform. Please insert the list of packages\utilites\etc used to make this build.
  • packages installed
    • dnsmasq
    • ffproxy
    • olsrd
    • php - This is not used at the moment pending what the GUI needs.
    • thttpd - Maybe change to mini_httpd because it can do ssl.

  • The configuration status of the Node
  • The routing table
  • The link/signal strength with respect to other nodes in the vicinity
• Administration
  • Change hostname
  • Set the NTP server (remote/local)
  • Set DNS server (remote/local)
