Re: [lime-dev] [Mesh] From libre-mesh

Hi! Not really. BMX6 cannot really measure any packet loss over Batman clouds because all the packet loss is abstracted away anyway, no? So it sees whole Batman cloud as one hop? Still, for best performance, some information from WiFi layer below should be available to BMX6. This is why I am not sure if BMX6 is suitable. Probably it would be easier to adapt Batman itself to be able to do some simple L3 announcements on border nodes? It would have access to underlying data as well. But yes, BMX6 can probably work as well and the job. I am just unsure if it is the best option for the given task. BMX6 was developed with some other design parameters (running on wireless mesh, measuring packet loss, finding the best path there) and now you are moving it to some other problem domain. Maybe BMX7 would be more suitable. :-) BMX7 which would talk with underlying Batman and collect real link quality information. Because if it does not talk with it, then maybe something like running cjdns on top of those Batman clouds to merge them together would be more suitable? You would get crypto for free. And you would not care about physical topology anyway. Mitar -- http://mitar.tnode.com/ https://twitter.com/mitar_m
