command brings the device up, making it active. The last command sets kernel routing

information that designates the address 192.168.1.5 as the gateway. This gateway is where all

Internet traffic is sent to, and is the address of the Client Gateway Router. This address must be

known in advance. To allow for DNS lookup, the address of a name server must be know in

advance and added to the /etc/resolv.conf file.

Table 7-1:Commands to Required to Allow Client Connection to Mesh Network

iwconfig eth1 mode ad-hoc channel 11 essid clientnet

ifconfig eth1 inet 192.168.1.13 netmask 255.255.255.0

ifconfig eth1 up

route add default gw 192.168.1.5 eth1

Wired Interface Configuration

The setup for a wired client is mostly identical to the wireless client configuration, without the

need for the first command that is specific to wireless devices. For the mesh network created, the

address for the wired Client Gateway router was 192.168.1.1. The proper name of the wired

Ethernet device was substituted for eth1.

Complete System

To fulfill the goals of the project, a client must be able to connect to a client gateway router, and

through the mesh network access the Internet. This would provide the client the ability to access

web sites, send email, and transfer files. With the mesh network setup and configured as

described in Section 6.1, and having a client configured as described in Section 6.2, this was

achieved. The ability to connect to the Internet, through the mesh network utilizing all the mesh

routers available in this project was successful. The machines were setup along the hallways in

the Engineering III building, with the distances between machines great enough to force the

maximum number of hops. If the distance between two machines was too small, then there was a

possibility of an intermediate system being skipped. This situation was avoided by checking the

routing table on each mesh router. See [Appendix B] for an example of the routing tables

observed. A group member’s laptop was configured as a client, and was able to send email,

browse websites, and transfer files from the Internet. There was a noticeable difference in

performance when accessing the Internet over four hops as opposed to one hop, which was

achieved in the laboratory. A figure representing the complete system can be seen in Figure 7-1,

note that to simplify the figure two of the packet forwarding routers are not shown.
