
Battery Voltage: This is the current battery voltage of the node.

Hop Count: This is the number network hops this node is from the base radio gateway.

Load: This indicates the amount of extra work this node is doing for other nodes in the
network. The value is the number of packets forwarded by this node over the number of
packets generated by this node. A load of 1 means that it is forwarding as many packets
at is generating. High load node could be considered bottle-necks in the network and can
run out of batteries quicker than other nodes in the network.

Packets Generated: This is the number of packet generated by this node.

Packets Forwarded: This is the number of packet forwarded by this node.

Last Updated: This is the last time this node has sent an update of its state.
In addition to these health statistics, the page also displays neighbor and route information in the
lower neighbor table. To display the neighbor and route information for a particular node click
on the row for that node in the node table.
The neighbor table displays the route the node takes back to the base radio gateway above the
neighbor table. In addition for each neighbor to the node it displays the following:

Path Cost: The path cost is a metric which represents the quality of path to the base
radio going through that node. A path cost equal to the hop count of the node is
considered a perfect path. The larger the path cost the worse the quality of the path.

Link Quality: This is the quality of the link to the particular neighbor. A quality of 1.0
is perfect and a quality of 0 is bad. The overall link quality is the product of the quality
in from that neighbor and the quality out to the particular neighbor.

Last Updated: This is the last time the node sent information about this neighbor.
