I'm a computer science student and attend a university with no WiFi (yes - sad, I know); we have great wired connectivity, but it's really hard to work in classes with no WiFi (for obvious reasons)
After some discussion with friends; we've started a new program where students donate their old wifi routers to us; and we re-configure them with DD-WRT and deploy them as access points (just in the school of computing).
This has worked pretty well for us (despite the fact that the university won't fund new access points or this project).
Now, we'd like to explore the possibility of SDN, mostly for easy centralized management and the ability to hand-off devices across access points as they move (which I believe is done by the client devices right now).
Are there any platforms that would let me do this? I checked out opendaylight, but couldn't really understand how to deploy/use it.
Any help or suggestions are highly appreciated!
