I'm surprised (well, perhaps I'm not) that no one's chimed in about the
defcon network, and the effort they go to each year. Here's some basic
information:
http://www.defconnetworking.org/
Defcon is often described as the world's most hostile network, and it
does have some interesting problems, including extra efforts to keep the
wireless side up, and useful. Considering the foolishness that goes on
in the background, it's very stable.
I do wish that they had more immediately useful information in that site
up above, but it's still got some interesting data points.

You may want to read RFC 1796, and then retract what you said because it
