Polynomialdivision 25a493c438 tcpsocket: add option to add server ip
A new config option allows to add a server ip
	option server_ip '10.0.0.2'

However, this server does not send anything back. Therefore it is not
possible to change the node configuration. This will probably be added
soon. The main goal of this commit is to allow monitoring of all nodes
in a network with DAWN, e.g. clients, channel utilization, ...

Also a network option (3) has been added which allows to use TCP but
not to announce your daemon in the broadcast domain. This allows you to
create a monitor-only node that holds only the local information and
forwards it to the central server.

A monitor-only node could be configured like
	option server_ip '10.0.0.1'
	option tcp_port '1026'
	option network_option '3'

Another possible config is
        option server_ip '10.0.0.1'
        option tcp_port '1026'
        option network_option '3'
Here, the node shares information with a central server, which can be
located outside the broadcast domain. Nevertheless, it also shares
information within its broadcast domain and can therefore perform
client steering.

DAWN PICTURE

DAWN

Decentralized WiFi Controller

Installation

You need full wpad installation and not wpad-basic.

See installation.

LuCI App

There is an luci app called luci-app-dawn.

Setting up Routers

You can find a good guide to configure your router is here. I setup the OpenWRT Router as dumb APs.

Configuration

Option Standard Meaning
ht_support '10' If AP and station support high throughput.
vht_support '100' If AP and station support very high throughput.
no_ht_support '0' If AP and station not supporting high throughput.
no_vht_support '0' If AP and station not supporting very high throughput.
rssi '10' If RSSI is greater equal rssi_val.
low_rssi '-500' If RSSI is less than low_rssi_val.
freq '100' If connection is 5Ghz.
chan_util '0' If channel utilization is lower chan_util_val.
max_chan_util '-500' If channel utilization is greater max_chan_util_val.
rssi_val '-60' Threshold for an good RSSI.
low_rssi_val '-80' Threshold for an bad RSSI.
chan_util_val '140' Threshold for an good channel utilization.
max_chan_util_val '170' Threshold for a bad channel utilization.
min_probe_count '2' Minimum number of probe requests aftrer calculating if AP is best and sending a probe response.
bandwidth_threshold '6' Threshold for the receiving bit rate indicating if a client is in an active transmission.
use_station_count '1' Use station count as metric.

ubus interface

To get an overview of all connected Clients sorted by the SSID.

root@OpenWrt:~# ubus call dawn get_network
{
    "Free-Cookies": {
	    "00:27:19:XX:XX:XX": {
		    "78:02:F8:XX:XX:XX": {
			    "freq": 2452,
			    "ht": 1,
			    "vht": 0,
			    "collision_count": 4
		    }
	    },
	    "A4:2B:B0:XX:XX:XX": {
		    "48:27:EA:XX:XX:XX: {
			    "freq": 2412,
			    "ht": 1,

			    "collision_count": 4
		    },
	    }
    },
    "Free-Cookies_5G": {
		
    }
}

To get the hearing map you can use:

root@OpenWrt:~# ubus call dawn get_hearing_map
{
    "Free-Cookies": {
	    "0E:5B:DB:XX:XX:XX": {
		    "00:27:19:XX:XX:XX": {
			    "signal": -64,
			    "freq": 2452,
			    "ht_support": true,
			    "vht_support": false,
			    "channel_utilization": 12,
			    "num_sta": 1,
			    "ht": 1,
			    "vht": 0,
			    "score": 10
		    },
		    "A4:2B:B0:XX:XX:XX": {
			    "signal": -70,
			    "freq": 2412,
			    "ht_support": true,
			    "vht_support": false,
			    "channel_utilization": 71,
			    "num_sta": 3,
			    "ht": 1,
			    "vht": 0,
			    "score": 10
		    }
	    }
    }
}
