Re: [B.A.T.M.A.N.] general theory question RE: dhcp on a peer only mesh

...

Out of curiousity, what does the freifunk network use for assigning IPs ?

At Freifunk Berlin users register with a user name and a valid e-mail address. Then you can register IPs in the data base.

Hmm... so in Berlin they register with an email, and in Weimar they pair IP+ssh_pub_key, and in Brussels they have a custom dhcp giving out non-routable ipv4 addresses...

This is very interesting - thank you for the examples.

However, all of the examples imply a centralized authority, ranging from an email registration hub to various DHCP servers.

Are any freifunk networks purely peer-to-peer, without any "server" or "core" nodes ?

That is, are any freifunk networks using ipv6 autoconf, or zeroconf ?

Thanks.
