Them's the breaks of a mesh. If a node's ZOMGWOWIE route goes away but it also has a less preferred, lower bandwidth but still working route, it should use that. The packets have to get through however they can, and sometimes beauty has to take a backseat to practical. - -- The Doctor [412/724/301/703] [ZS] PGP: 0x807B17C1 / 7960 1CDC 85C9 0B63 8D9F DD89 3BD8 FF2B 807B 17C1 WWW: https://drwho.virtadpt.net/ "Red Adair Linux, for what we do most of the time." --Paul Martin -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk/kvkYACgkQO9j/K4B7F8GfBgCgvtBWRt6GhHxgkHjlekBondE3 RNUAniBah6fDdEVh1rNk2tT9sU/T4fIl =aFzx -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Freedombox-discuss mailing list Freedombox-discuss@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/freedombox-discuss
