Andrew Bettison 8345d896a6 Add Route REST API (fixes #96)
Consists of a single, one-shot request, GET /restful/route/all.json, for
the time being.  A "newsince" request can be added later.

Add a Markdown tech doc that specifies the new Route REST API and update
the MDP tech doc a little.

Add the 'routerestful' test script, which uses some test utility
fuctions that have been factored out of the 'routing' test script into
the new testdefs_routing.sh.

Add the new 'allrestful' test script.

Serval Project, October 2016

This directory contains technical documents that accompany the Serval DNA component of the Serval mesh network.

  • Building Serval DNA has instructions to build a native Serval DNA executable.

  • Testing Serval DNA describes the Serval DNA test scripts and the test framework.

  • Configuring Serval DNA 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 contains information of use to developers of Serval DNA and to those experiencing build problems.

  • MDP Packet Filtering describes the configuration options and rules file syntax for filtering incoming and outgoing MDP packets.

  • Tunnelling describes how to tunnel IP over the Serval mesh network.

  • Serval DNA on OpenWRT describes how to build and install Serval DNA packages for the OpenWRT platform.

  • Serval DNA OpenBTS support describes how Serval DNA has been integrated with the Commotion Wireless OpenBTS mobile telephony platform.

  • Mesh Datagram Protocol (MDP) describes the fundamental mesh protocol used in Serval Mesh networks and its C programming API.

  • Mesh Stream Protocol (MSP) describes a reliable message stream protocol used in Serval Mesh networks and its C programming API.

  • REST API describes the common features of the various HTTP REST APIs through which applications access the services of the Serval mesh network, including:

  • CLI API describes the command-line interface used for controlling the Serval DNA daemon and accessing its services.

  • Cooee describes the protocol used for discovering services available on nearby (reachable) mesh network nodes.

  • Serval Infrastructure contains notes on plans for how a Serval mesh network can use the Internet to increase its reach and usefulness.
