MeshClients
MeshClients is a software framework designed to enable client devices to participate in wireless mesh networks. It provides a runtime environment and application programming interfaces that allow devices to act as mesh nodes, forward traffic, and discover services in a decentralized topology. The project emphasizes portability across operating systems and hardware platforms, enabling both mobile and embedded devices to join mesh environments.
