Serval DNA Technical Documentation
----------------------------------
[Serval Project][], May 2014
This directory contains [technical documents][] that accompany the [Serval
DNA][] component of the [Serval mesh network][].
* [Building Serval DNA](../INSTALL.md) has instructions to build a native
Serval DNA executable.
* [Testing Serval DNA](./Testing.md) describes the Serval DNA test scripts and
the test framework.
2014-05-20 05:24:24 +00:00
* [Configuring Serval DNA](./Servald-Configuration.md) describes the
persistent configuration system and its command-line API, the built-in
system file paths, daemon instances and basic network configuration.
* [Notes for Developers](./Development.md) contains information of use to
developers of Serval DNA and to those experiencing build problems.
* [MDP Packet Filtering](./Mesh-Packet-Filtering.md) describes the
configuration options and rules file syntax for filtering incoming and
outgoing MDP packets.
2014-05-20 05:24:24 +00:00
* [Tunnelling](./Tunnelling.md) describes how to tunnel IP over the Serval
mesh network.
* [Serval DNA on OpenWRT](./OpenWRT.md) describes how to build and install
Serval DNA packages for the OpenWRT platform.
* [Serval DNA OpenBTS support](./OpenBTS.md) describes how Serval DNA has been
integrated with the Commotion Wireless OpenBTS mobile telephony platform.
* [Mesh Datagram Protocol (MDP)](./Mesh-Datagram-Protocol.md) describes the
fundamental mesh protocol used in Serval Mesh networks and its C programming
API.
* [Mesh Stream Protocol (MSP)](./Mesh-Stream-Protocol.md) describes a reliable
message stream protocol used in Serval Mesh networks and its C programming
API.
* [REST API](./REST-API.md) describes the common features of the various HTTP
REST APIs through which applications access the services of the Serval mesh
network, including:
* [Keyring REST API](./REST-API-Keyring.md) -- identity management
* [Rhizome REST API](./REST-API-Rhizome.md) -- decentralised content distribution
* [MeshMS REST API](./REST-API-MeshMS.md) -- secure, one-to-one messaging
* [Cooee](./Cooee.md) describes the protocol used for discovering services
available on nearby (reachable) mesh network nodes.
