Re: [lime-dev] VLANs protocol in LibreMesh

Hello Roger. As already discussed, I think 802.11ad is the better approach. As LiMe is a flexible firmware made to satisfy all needs, we have a special packet named lime-proto-qmp [1] which enforces the system to use 802.11q instead of 802.11ad (and VLAN 12). If qMp v4.0 will handle the interfaces using 802.11ad, we would probably need to modify such packet, so please keep us updated. About using 802.11q for WLAN and 802.11ad for ethernet, I would prefer to use always the same, so only 802.11ad (to make it more clear and easy to maintain). In addition I can imagine a scenario of two nodes, one meshing throw ethernet connected to some dumy WiFi devices in bridge mode (such as a NanoBridge), and another meshing throw the WLAN interfaces (such as a TPlink). In that both routers won't be able to communicate each other. What you might do to keep the compatibility throw the nodes, is to initially create both (802.11q and 802.11ad) interfaces in the same device and use both of them to mesh at the same time. After some versions, when you are sure there are not more old firmware devices, you can remove the 802.11q interfaces and leave only the 802.11ad. Cheers.
