IP Standard

The mesh runs a dual stack IPv4 and IPv6 networking. Each device is be assigned a minimum of 2 IP addresses, one of each type.

IPv4 Subnet CIDR

For IPv4 the following CIDR definition

  • /32 - Single Host
  • /30 - PtP L2TP etc
  • /29 - PtP Antenna links where antennas are in bridge mode but require an IP for administration
  • /24 - Antenna Subnets

IPv6 Subnet CIDR

For IPv6 the following CIDR definition

  • /128 - Single Host
  • /127 - PtP L2TP etc
  • /126 - PtP Antenna links where antennas are in bridge mode but require an IP for administration
  • /64 - Antenna Subnets

Backhaul network

Used for super nodes and core infrastructure

Fun Fact: IPv6 Address is in the fd::/8 range. The bytes of 74 6F 6D 73 86 converted into ASCII spell TOMSH (lower case for backhaul range)
