Following their recent code production release, AREDN has embarked on an ambitious development plan. Here’s a basic overview of what is on their plate
The programming language for the user interface, services and many other functions is written in Perl. The Perl libraries are very large and AREDN has embarked upon a project to replace it with Lua, a much lighter weight programming language designed to run in embedded devices.
In steps, the team will update the “read-only” page to Lua:
Main, Mesh Status, etc.
Then the read-write pages will be updated:
Basic Setup
Port Forwarding DHCP and Services
Tunnel Server
Tunnel Client
Administration
Advanced
Configuration
And some others
Then the code base will be updated to OpenWRT 21.02.1. Besides code enhancements and security fixes, it brings in:
The AREDN simplified firmware filename standard has been changed to the default OpenWRT convention to leverage data files created at build time for future automation of firmware selection.
When installing this firmware release, from prior firmware versions, you may get an error message similar to
“This filename is NOT appropriate for this device.“
“This device expects a file such as: aredn-3.22.1.0-main-ef2d605-ubnt-nano-m-xw-.*sysupgrade.bin”
“Click OK to continue if you are CERTAIN that the file is correct”
Ensure that you are loading the correct file by referring to the downloads page, then safely ignore the warning. Once this release is loaded, this error message will never occur again.
When the size of the hostname and service advertisements exceeded the size of a single network packet, only IP addresses would be known. The...
"PARDEN" the interruption! October's Meshoween network test was so successful that, we've decided to celebrate with another one at the end of the year. We'll celebrate New Nodes Eve and then Happy Mesh Year!
Seriously, this is an opportunity to stress the network again after the router storm mitigation patch has time to promulgate throughout the network. Meshoween also revealed an issue with the performance of the Mesh Status page when the node count got high. Both these patches were published in nightly builds in early November. If your node's running a nightly build later than that, you should be good to go.
The WWL - "World Wide Linkup" will start at 000Z on 1/1/2022 (afternoon of the 31st for the U.S.) and last at least 4 hours. If you've brought up a tunnel that you don't normally use, feel free to drop it anytime after 4 hours.
So crank up those tunnels and be on the lookout for network wierdnesses.
We are considering how the future version of AREDN mesh network software might affect the use of the Meshchat application.

AREDN supports this year’s “Wireless Battle of the Mesh – Building Community Networks for Fun and Non-Profit”.
AREDN software uses OLSRv1 protocol for managing IP routing. The AREDN development team closely watches the improvements made by participants in the Battlemesh events. We plan to use these enhancements in future AREDN releases as the mobile adhoc mesh routing protocols evolve.
This year’s Battlemesh event will take place in Saint-Denis (Paris), France from Monday to Sunday, July 8 through July 14, 2019. The location is at a 5 to10 minute walk from the Saint-Denis railway station on the Train H (faster) or RER D, both easily accessible from the center of Paris. Make sure to buy a ticket for zone 3. The street address is Le 6B, 6-10 quai de Seine, 93200 Saint-Denis, France.
The event itself is free of charge and open for all!
Battlemesh brings people together from around the globe who are interested in wireless mesh networks, community networks and DIY Internet access providers. The organizers envision 7 days full...
We plan to conduct a series of mini classes in our booth #1001 at Hamvention at the Greene County Fairgrounds in Xenia, Ohio, May 17-19.
Each class is about 15 minutes long. Since there is limited space available, we will conduct additional sessions if the demand warrants them. Please check our booth for schedule updates.
