My master's thesis project is: Secure Commissioning (Forming/Joining) In Ad Hoc WiFi MESH networks. </span><br style="font-family: "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;">
<br style="font-family: "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;">
<span style="font-family: "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;">I read the documentation of commotion and this is what my understanding is:</span><br style="font-family: "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;">
<span style="font-family: "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;">1. Commotion software platform supports formation of Ad Hoc WiFi MESH network but confined to only routers.</span><br style="font-family: "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;">
<span style="font-family: "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;">2. In other words Commotion software platform enables formation of Ad Hoc WiFi MESH network of routers.</span><br style="font-family: "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;">
<span style="font-family: "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;">3. Laptops (phones, tablets) will behave as legacy WiFi nodes and will connect to one of the commotion routers (in a star topology) which is having MESH connection with
other commotion routers. The actual MESH is formed between the routers running the commotion software.</span><br style="font-family: "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;">
<br style="font-family: "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;">
<span style="font-family: "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;">Is my understanding correct as per the documentation provided by commotion wireless project ??</span><br style="font-family: "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;">
<br style="font-family: "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;">
<span style="font-family: "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;">If Yes, then is there any MESH security challenges that needs to be incorporated at the time of joining of a new router (running commotion firmware) to the existing MESH
network. I can work on those security challenges and contribute to the commotion community as my master's thesis work is also related to finding solutions to those kind of security challenges.</span><br style="font-family: "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;">
<br style="font-family: "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;">
