package/ffnw-hoodselector/luasrc/hoodselector

+#!/usr/bin/lua
+
+-- This is the hoodselector. The hoodselector is one of the main components for
+-- splitting a layer 2 mesh network into seperated network segments (hoods).
+-- The job of the hoodselector is to automatically detect in which hood
+-- the router is located based on geo settings or by scanning its environment.
+-- Based on these informations the hoodselector should select a hood from a
+-- list of known hoods (hoodlist) and adjust vpn, wireless and mesh on lan
+-- configuration based on the settings given for the selected hood.
+--
+-- The hoodlist containing all hood settings is located in a seperate hoodfile
+-- in the hoods package.
+--
+-- The hoodselector depends on the folowing additional software:
+--  * fastd (vpn configuration) see getCurrentPeers(), setHoodVPN()
+--  * iw (wireless network scanning) see getNeigbourBssid()
+--  * batman-adv (mesh protocol) see directVPN(), getGwRange()
+--  * respondd (molwm) see molwm()
+--
+--  To detect the current hood the hoodselector knows 2 modes containing
+--  * 1. Default mode (VPN Router)
+--    - set real hood dependent on geo position.
+--    - set default hood dependent on geo position.
+--  * 2. Scan modes
+--   - Set wifi conf on scanned BSSID
+--   - Set vpn conf getting by BSSID (if no VPN conf exsist disable fastd)
+-- When selecting a hood, the hoodselector has the following priorities:
+--   1. Selecting a hood by geo position depending on direct VPN connection.
+--   2. force creating one mesh cloud with neigbour mesh routers
+--   3. if routers had only mesh setting vpn config depends on the BSSID
