STRIP (Starnode Radio IP) is a protocol designed specifically for
|
|
a range of Metricom radio modems for a research project being
|
|
conducted by Stanford University called the MosquitoNet Project.
|
|
There is a lot of interesting reading here, even if you aren't
|
|
directly interested in the project.

The Metricom radios connect to a serial port, employ spread spectrum
|
|
technology and are typically capable of about 100kbps. Information on
|
|
the Metricom radios is available from the: Metricom Web Server.

At present the standard network tools and utilities do not support the
|
|
STRIP driver, so you will have to download some customized tools from
|
|
the MosquitoNet web server. Details on what software you need is
|
|
available at the: MosquitoNet STRIP Page.

A summary of configuration is that you use a modified slattach program
|
|
to set the line discipline of a serial tty device to STRIP and then
|
|
configure the resulting `st[0-9]' device as you would for ethernet
|
|
with one important exception, for technical reasons STRIP does not
|
|
support the ARP protocol, so you must manually configure the ARP
|
|
entries for each of the hosts on your subnet. This shouldn't prove too
|
|
onerous. STRIP device names are `st0', `st1', etc.... The relevant
|
|
kernel compilation options are given below.
