I totally agree, and we should forget about generating traffic from
the foneras themselves (such as running iptraf of a webserver on the
routers themselves).

We tested iptraf and uhttpd at WBMv2 in Brussels, it was consuming 80% CPU.

So next time we need a laptop or another router that is dedicated at
generating traffic at each node location, or at least where you want
to test the traffic from.

"In July 2005, after several failed attempts to legalise software
patents in Europe, the patent establishment changed its strategy.
Instead of explicitly seeking to sanction the patentability of
software, they are now seeking to create a central European patent
court, which would establish and enforce patentability rules in their
favor, without any possibility of correction by competing courts or
democratically elected legislators."
