Abstract

Wireless mesh networks (WMN) are emerging as a flexible and low-cost alternative to provide digital inclusion through multi-hop communications, supporting applications from last-mile Internet delivery, search and rescue, home networking to distributed gaming. Managing increasingly large and unplanned WMNs has many challenges. This paper has the primary goal of raising management issues in wireless mesh networks. Furthermore this work documents the management solutions deployed by the ReMesh project ¹ in terms of network configuration, topology view, access control, performance measurement and statistics.
