Ad-hoc Wireless Distribution System 8.11 (Default branch)
Image AWDS (Ad-hoc Wireless Distribution Service) is a layer 2 routing protocol for wireless mesh networks. It provides transparent Ethernet-like access to all participating nodes, thus easily allowing the employment of different higher level protocols like IP (with DHCP), IPv6, AppleTalk, etc. License: GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL) Changes:
A new protocol format is used. Fixes were made for new compilers and 64-bit systems. IPv6 is supported for the topology viewer. The new GEA release is used. Image
