Node Mode​

Basic, Simple FEC, and Advanced node modes on iOS

This menu selects how you want to connect to the mudfish node. The following modes are currently supported:

  • Basic Mode

    This is the default mode selected and will use one mudfish node to reach the destination.

  • SimpleFEC mode

    This mode is used to overcome packet loss between the user's cell phone and the mudfish node. It sends multiple duplicate packets to prevent packet loss in the middle.

    However, the credit usage can be at least 2-3 times higher.

  • Advanced Mode

    This mode can be used when you want to chain two mudfish nodes to reach a destination. You can choose which mudfish nodes you want to use, and you can see the recommended route through the menu in the top right corner.

    This can be used when you want to avoid certain areas due to routing issues.

Configuration​

You can change Connection Protocol and MTU.

  • Connection Protocol

    Currently both TCP and UDP protocol are supported. As default, it's UDP (Port 10008)

    • TCP (Port 1723)
    • TCP (Port 10006)

  • RTT check speed

    This specifies the speed of RTT checking between user and mudfish nodes. If this value is 1 or higher, it'll show the latency (ping) information at "Mudfish Node" menu. The each value means:

    • 0

      This means "turn off the RTT checking". This is the default value.

    • 1

      This is slowest speed of RTT checking. Under some environment, the aggressive RTT checking makes your home router got a hang. For that case you can use this value.

    • 5

      This is highest speed of RTT checking. 5 threads will check RTT information at the same time.

Connect​

Points current connection status. If you click, you can do "Connect" or "Disconnect".
