Creating Links

Mesh Link

A mesh link with IEEE 802.11s can be created with the method below:

net.addLink(sta1, cls=mesh, intf='sta1-wlan0', ssid='meshNet', channel=5)

The mthod above crates a mesh link from sta1-wlan0 through iw. Please refer to the iw documentation on how to add a new virtual interface for further information.

If you want to create multiple virtual mesh interfaces you can repeat the method call by adding vIface=True as follows.

net.addLink(sta1, cls=mesh, ssid='meshNet', vIface=True,
            intf='sta1-wlan0', channel=5, ht_cap='HT40+')

Ad hoc Link

An adhoc link can be created with the method below:

net.addLink(sta1, cls=adhoc, intf='sta1-wlan0', ssid='adhochNet', channel=5)
