For example other wireless communities have defined a common schema of the node that you can see here: <ulink url="http://interop.wlan-lj.net/wiki"/> .  </para><para>We must do the same thing because this is the first step to make a complete interoperability to other wireless communities.  First of all we have to define how &quot;fields&quot; we need. For example a basic node can have: </para><para>1) FQID (Fully Qualified ID) 2) IP (a node can have more than one Ip address) 3) Lat  4) Lon 5) Street 6) Zip 7) City 8) Created_at 9) Updated_at 10) Antennas 11) Description 12) Inside_Subnet 13) Outside_Subnet 14) Inside_iface 15) Outside_iface 16) </para></article>
