Based on #8.

We should deploy a "base" in Earth with a static port/ip so the leader and only the leader can communicate with it. Perhaps periodic reports. While the leader is reporting (make it a slow process) it should not move nor enter in low battery mode.

So far the rovers are deployed randomly and also move randomly. They should coordinate somehow and help each other (i.e. a rover with extra battery recharging another one, moving closer to the leader to ensure a direct communication, moving to a richer area were something important (like water) has been detected by another rover).

Based on #8 and #12.

Similar to communication to earth but between different leaders in different networks. Leader should register themselves in Earth for that, which will act as a tracker.

Add encryption between nodes in a same deployment (make them all share a key). If a message is received but can not be decoded, ignore it.

Maybe extend SDNNode into SecureSDNNode and make Roger/Network Visualizer childs of SecureSDNNode.

Implement a leader election algorithm based on the Bully Algorithm. Again, do not modify SDNNode for that. Ensure electing a new leader if current leader is not reachable.

That leader is going to be the one with enchanted capabilities and act as a coordinator/communicate with Earth/other network leaders.

data collected from rovers locally and send to earth station.

I want to make it based on the leader acting as a gateway but that part is quite green in my head yet. Any idea is welcome

Each roger must have at least 8 sensors. So far I am simulating a positioning system and a speedometer. Work on that, add some imagination. Specially interesting if you can apply ML algorithms into it. Ideally, not all rogers should have all capabilities. So they have a reason to coordinate.
