Wireless Mesh Network Model Wireless nodes used as wireless router:- PCEngines Alix.3D board- IEEE 802.11n cards- Software: Embedded Linux OS (ADAM) - Routing protocol: 802.11s, IPv4/IPv6- 2x2 MIMO directional or omnidirectional
antenna- Web server providing a user interface for the network management and configuration purposes.
Management and configuration data can be exchanged among the mesh nodes

A4Mesh: Authentication and Authorization
TF-MNM, Feb-15-11, Lyon
Only authorized users, authorized nodes should be able to join the network
User data forwarding, managementdata dissemination requires a trust between Mesh nodes. Authentication mechanism between nodes are needed.
Authentication issues :- Clients, end systems have to be authenticated before being able to use the network Moonshot ? - Management interface Shibboleth protected for mesh admin SWITCHaai- Mesh Nodes - ?
