View source for Byzantium Sprint 3

'''Sprint Dates: Fri 29 April 2011 - Sun 1 May 2011'''
==Goals==
*Revisit sprint 1
**Gather metrics to determine efficiency of protocols.
***Sizes of routing protocols' packets.
***Number of packets per second/minute/hour transmitted by each protocol.
***Average amount of traffic during normal operation.
**Determine how many nodes can participate in a mesh before responsiveness or bandwidth begin to degrade.

==Stuff To Bring==
*anything that can run babel
**laptops/netbooks
**desktops with wireless cards
**openwrt compatible routers (if you're feeling lucky/adventurous)

==Homework==
*install babeld on every machine you plan to bring to the sprint
*[optional] install a kernel with support for batman-adv on the same machines (it's built into the kernel after version 2.6.38+ ) or build the modules separate from the kernel
*readup on route and ip/ifconfig commands in linux
*readup on ipv6

==Experiments==
*network density
**hypothesis: if the nodes are positioned very densely, then the network quality will degrade.
**test: position nodes at increasing densities starting with evenly distributed nodes at their maximum effective range, and run tests to measure network quality at each level of density.

==Suggestions==
* Babeld install guide
* LiveCD guide
* Twitter hashtag #hacbyz ??
