Conference wifi redux

Claim: build a conference WAN that doubles throughput by striping packets across multiple uplinks and reassembling them outside the venue. Implementation: sashimi (Node.js, kernel tuntap) tunnels ip over tcp across two microwave links and four DSL lines with link‑aggregation; observed air limit ~220 Mbps and then backend, not radios, causes congestion. Also built social traffic—CouchDB‑backed dashboard tying Twitter IDs to byte counts. Setup generally works but replication and UI flakiness remain.
