The experimental #NetworkCoding feature in @batadv is queued for removal (unless someone steps up to put a considerable amount of work into it?): https://lists.open-mesh.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/[email protected]/thread/F7L4X2LHMWPTNPYLMZDWDSTSV5ILJ47E/

More details about its design can be found here:

I kind of hoped this would be a more demanding endeavour.

Connected two gluon nodes via fibre optic cables, set the respective interfaces to mesh with each other
and it just worked™.

The ERX SFP are about 70 bucks each, Ali Express did the rest.

Gigabit Freifunk Mesh for <160€ with two active B.A.T.M.A.N. speaking components.

Only 200 metres for now, tendency rising.

PS for non-techies:
This is a non-electrical connection between two computer networks, which allows for connections across buildings or towns without the risk of short circuits between them.

Weiß hier jemand welche WLAN-Adapter, 802.11s (Mesh) unterstützen?

Woohoo, B.A.T.M.A.N läuft

Zumindest über Ethernet aber hey ;)
