Re: [Babel-users] ad-hoc networks behave like mesh using babel?

But on few occasions, it inserts negative routes with Flag set to !H and metric set to -1 for hosts which are in direct range of each other. I don't know what is !, perhaps unreachable. This seems (for the moment) quite normal : you're moving, so the metric changes (it will increase at some

Re: [Babel-users] ad-hoc networks behave like mesh using babel?

The ! route problem seems to occur during startup of a host. That's normal if you're not putting the state file in persistent storage (you're losing your seqno when you reboot, and Babel's loop avoidance mechanism gets confused). Babeld should recover from this after 3 minutes at most. The

Hi, Ad-hoc networks do not provide transitive connectivity i.e. if A can see B, B can see C and A cannot see C directly, there will be no automatic route from A to C via B. That is correct. Ad-hoc is a specific mode of 802.11 (Wi-Fi), which operates at layer 2 and does not deal at all

[Babel-users] ad-hoc networks behave like mesh using babel?

Hi, Please help resolve my confusion. From what I understand, Ad-hoc networks do not provide transitive connectivity i.e. if A can see B, B can see C and A cannot see C directly, there will be no automatic route from A to C via B. But mesh networks provide this transitive routing capability.
