what does /sci/ think about meshnet / 802.11s?
would you be willing to put your computer on a stranger's network?
How would one protect against malicious users on the network?
How would something traditionally centralized like DNS work on a mesh network?

I showed it to a friend in the best engineering university in my country and he told me that their developers produce a lot of scientific papers and stuff (not with this words) and this is serious business (translated from my language to internet speak)
http://www.open80211s.org/

But as always he is very skeptic about new stuff the idea seems interesting but it's far from being functional.

My opinion is that it would be pretty cool on urban areas, but I wonder how would we deal with more isolated areas. There would need some wires to link them (or some wireless spots every X meters?)

It looks like this is basically a new protocol that works on 802.11* hardware. Also, according to wikipedia, the latest version of the linux kernel has an implementation in it. What, then, is necessary to actually get on a mesh network?

just a large enough antenna and a wireless card

I say we just have a large antenna broadcast a very powerful signal maybe a large tower or an orbiting sat with a powerful transmitter, i mean they do it for television and cellular telephony and countless other things.. why the fack not.

this works for getting a signal out (obviously, this is how TV and radio work), but when you consider that people will also need to send signals back, not so much. Especially when you consider how many users that one large tower would have.
