LibreMesh is a framework for creating OpenWrt- based firmware for Wireless mesh nodes.
LibreMesh works in a decentralized way and is used as a base for community networks. These mesh networks allow all nodes to router the traffic of the other ones.
Currently, using and testing LibreMesh requires having two or more routers, downloading the images and configuring them, which slows down development times. With the use of virtualization tools, the nodes could be set up virtually, forming a virtual mesh network, which would allow new contributors to try LibreMesh more quickly.
