• Meraki (previously Roofnet)

  • A cloud networking company that provides hardware and software for building large scale wired and wireless networks. (Owned by google.)

  • An open, fully distributed network with hierarchical topology. Built on IPv6, the QSPN routing protocol, and the ANDNA name lookup/management system.
