You will have to change babeld to only consider a slice of the network. You can run hundreds of babeld inside small openwrt VPSes: https://github.com/zoobab/openwrt-openvz You can also use LXC. >> - ability for public babel network to survive attacks OLSRd had some encryption key for the packets, don't know for Babel. About metrics, there was the idea to export infos from the radio layer (especially from the linux kernel), don't know if this is possible right now with the latest kernel changes. -- Benjamin Henrion <bhenrion at ffii.org> FFII Brussels - +32-484-566109 - +32-2-3500762 "In July 2005, after several failed attempts to legalise software patents in Europe, the patent establishment changed its strategy. Instead of explicitly seeking to sanction the patentability of software, they are now seeking to create a central European patent court, which would establish and enforce patentability rules in their favor, without any possibility of correction by competing courts or democratically elected legislators." _______________________________________________ Babel-users mailing list Babel-users@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/babel-users
