Abstract :
We present the results of analysis of Berlin´s free multihop wireless network and provide topological, link reliability and traffic statistics we have captured from it. The network is relatively large compared with known wireless multihop networks and testbeds, and it had 316 participating nodes on the average. The observed properties are different from frequently used models: the network is connected but with low average node density, it has large number of bridges (some of them with very low quality of links) and the traffic distribution is highly asymmetrical.
