I agree with Gio, we also tried to use mDNS/avahi in
several projects
and it was always a fail, in addition the layer2 dependency is a
restrictions which reduces the possible impact of the services sharing.
An alternative option would be to use the bmx6 SMS plugin [1], which
allows the transfer of small files using the routing packets. Here an
example of usage [2] and the code [3].
Using ALFRED from batman-adv would be also an option. On LiMe we are
already using it for the dhcp leases share system of dnsmasq, but again
it would work only for the cloud (not the entire network). So a kind of
bridge might be implemented.
Would be nice to put some effort here.
I talked ahout this with nico a bit. We've also had a bad experience
with Avahi in general.
Maybe we can do some brainstorming about what we would like to
accomplish and then share ideas on how to do that.
Nico is motivated to work on this and that's awesome :)
Cheers!
