AREDN Tidbits...

Some AREDN-related tidbit.

The AREDN World Map is updated four times per day:? 0200, 0800, 1400, and 2000 UTC.

If you're going to run a supernode, make sure it's wired to the network; it needs to have a? solid connection 24x7.

AREDN is now recommending the OpenWRT One for use as a supernode, superseding the ac2.? On Amazon, it's sold as the "MiiElAOD Banana Pi OpenWrtOne Router", currently for $105, or the? "WayPonDEV Banana Pi WiFi 6 OpenWrt One Router Board " for $119.? .? While that's more than an ac2 would cost at $78, the OpenWrt One is substantially more powerful, with more memory.

As of this writing, only 4.3 percent of the nodes on the supernode network are running a tiny build and won't be able to run a Babel-enabled software.? Their breakdown:

  • Nanostation XM - 43
  • Nanobridge XM - 9
  • Bullet- XM - 44?
  • Airrouter- 28

(XW versions have more memory and are OK)

Note: Bullets do come in an XW version, but they're not MIMO. They're on the Sunset list for that reason.

Total - 124 (out of close to 3,000 nodes)

When the OLSR routing protocol is dropped from AREDN sometime in the future, legacy tunnels will stop working, as they can't support the Babel protocol. Users have been advised to migrate from legacy tunnels to Wireguard tunnels for some time. A recent change to the code enables legacy tunnels to be broken out from Wireguard tunnels in their JSON file. Of those nodes that have picked up this change, they report 17.5% legacy tunnels, 82.5% Wireguard tunnels. Not too shabby!
