[MLB-WIRELESS] ssid naming conventions

[Jason Clarke]

Actually, the IP ranges wont matter hugely for me.

10.69.11.x  - Wired LAN
192.168.4.100-255 - Wireless LAN Range

The wireless LAN range would be pretty easy to change (including firewalls etc).

The only problem I can foresee is when MW gets large and my internal range ends up being used somewhere in MW where I can connect to, but that is a way down the track.

  All

   

  Yeah I can understand that having a convention as such would interrupt interneal network naming, but mw ip address' would be doing the same for your internal network addressing.

   

  Anyhow just a thought to get it more streamlined. No one has to participate, just for identifying issues that was all.

  I know this sounds petty, but having that naming convention would break from my internal network naming (Poohbear names :-)

   

  Most people are already using foo.wireless.org.au that I've noticed. With an anything goes for foo policy.. I believe this is a defacto standard already.

  Melbourne Wireless.

   

  I have had a thought and might be a decent one. 

   

  In regards to locfinder and ap's ssids, I believe it might be a good idea to have some sort of naming conventions in regards to them. Makes it a bit easier when stumbling for MW nodes, and would look a bit neater.

   

  Something like  : nodeXXX.wireless.org.au or nodeXXX.melbwireless.org.au where XXX is your short node name, i.e mine is FSO J

   

  Like to here some thoughts regarding it. 

   

  Cheers
