Abstract

Increasing popularity in personal access points and travel routers has begun to rise with the advent of smaller and more battery conscious devices. This article introduces the YAAP (Yet Another Access Point), an open source software that enables ad-hoc infrastructure services in the absence of network connectivity. The YAAP provides a familiar way to connect users to each other and provides a set of useful services. We list and describe its applications, explain how it can be used, provide details about the code, and readers to where it can be downloaded.
