`yanic` is a respondd client that fetches, stores and publishes information about a Freifunk network. The goals:
2017-01-30 15:23:36 +01:00
* Generating JSON for [Meshviewer](https://github.com/ffrgb/meshviewer)
2017-06-14 14:05:20 +02:00
* Storing statistics in [InfluxDB](https://influxdata.com/) or [Graphite](https://graphiteapp.org/) to be analyzed by [Grafana](http://grafana.org/)
2017-01-30 15:23:36 +01:00
* Provide a little webserver for a standalone installation with a meshviewer

## How it works
2019-10-13 10:48:44 +02:00
In the first step Yanic sends a multicast message to the group `ff05::2:1001` and port `1001`.
2017-06-14 14:05:20 +02:00
Recently seen nodes that does not reply are requested via a unicast message.
