The Samoa Savai’i Faasaleleaga (FAASALMESH) – Management Systems Tools and Performance Architecture Analysis

ABSTRACT This paper provides a description of the FAASAL Wireless Mesh Network (WMN) management systems tools, performance architecture and analysis. Firstly, it introduces the developed architectural engineering design of the FAASAL IEEE.802 a/b/g/n indoor and outdoor test-bed deployment for testing simulation and physical operation. The test-bed developed design includes its management infrastructure tools specification for operational control, performance architectural and analysis. The main task of the FAASAL WMN is to satisfy four conflicting requirements from different user groups including: the Systems Administrator, Systems Research and Development, Ubiquity Broadband Internet Users and Organisational Strategic and Operational Management. The FAASALMESH introduces a complete management infrastructure and components including: (1) Configuration Tools; (2) GHz Spectrum Management hardwarearchitectures:ARM,MIPSandx86; (3) the BackTrack Linux architectural Operation System,(4) The Spectrum Analyzer Wi-Spy 2.4i entry-level 2.4 GHz; (5) A FAASALMESH unique Authentication Infrastructure which uses the FreeRADIUS tool; and finally (6) the FAASALMESH introduces a unique internetwork aspect by realising the importance of the network as a business. The FAASALAMESH uses the two SAP Business Intelligence (BI) software platforms including: theBusinessObjects and the BusinessObjects RDS.

摘要：本文系统性阐述了FAASAL无线网状网络（Wireless Mesh Network, WMN）的管理系统工具、性能架构及分析方法。首先，本文介绍了FAASAL IEEE.802 a/b/g/n室内外测试床的架构工程设计方案，该测试床用于开展仿真与实体运行测试。所开发的测试床设计涵盖了面向运维管控、性能架构搭建与分析的管理基础设施工具规范。FAASAL WMN的核心目标是满足四类来自不同用户群体的冲突性需求，涉及系统管理员、系统研发团队、泛在宽带互联网用户以及组织战略与运营管理层。FAASALMESH构建了一套完整的管理基础设施与组件体系，具体包括：(1) 配置工具；(2) GHz级频谱管理硬件架构：ARM、MIPS及x86；(3) BackTrack Linux操作系统；(4) 入门级2.4GHz频谱分析仪Wi-Spy 2.4i；(5) 依托FreeRADIUS工具搭建的FAASALMESH专属认证架构；最后，(6) FAASALMESH通过将网络定位为业务核心资产，实现了独特的网间互联特性。此外，FAASALMESH采用了两款SAP商务智能（Business Intelligence, BI）软件平台，即BusinessObjects与BusinessObjects RDS。
