I rebuilt this using a larger maxReportPacketSize a couple of weeks ago
(mailed the new code to our buddy ChrisG) because the nlanr-beacon
wouldn't start and our nodes started appearing again. That solved the
problem of our nodes not being seen at all in the "tree". Its sort of
the situation where the last one (more than 8192 bytes of information)
loses - but the early arrivals were still seen correctly. <br>
<br>
There's something strange going on - I rebooted the vrvs-ag & a
couple of the cakebox nodes & they magically reappeared in the
beacon page. I changed nothing else, just restarted, yesterday, (by
rebooting) the nlanr-beacon process.<br>
<br>
Has anyone heard anything more from the NLANR guys?<br>

Here are some suggestions that seem to work for me:<br>
<br>
Download the lastest beacon software - beacon_v0.63<br>
<br>
Edit Beacon.java to these values (I randomly increased them)<br>
<br>
final static int maxPacketSize = 4096; // set this to quite large
enough<br>
final static String magicString= "beacon0600"; // unique
identification<br>
final static int maxReportPacketSize = 16384; // approximately
enough for 80<br>
<br>
Edit Send.java<br>
<br>
socket.setTimeToLive(bcn.mcTtl); // for JDK1.2<br>
// socket.setTTL((byte)bcn.mcTtl); // for JDK1.1<br>
<br>
<br>
Run "javac *.java"<br>
<br>
Restart the beacon. FYI, I see 119 different sources in the <b>233.2.171.1</b>
group.<br>

Which beacons did you restart? I would like to look to see if their
reports are making it to the server, and that their traffic is making it
to the outside world.<br>
<br>
There could still be a problem, but I would like to look at specific
beacons to verify it.<br>
