To the best of my knowledge solid engineering is always a trade-off. So you can scalability but then you get less mobility (zigbee is one of a hell scalable solution. But most of the time zigbee nodes never use the air :) ) > > On 12/16/2009 12:43 PM, Andrew Lunn wrote: >> So you are proposing a flat layer 2 network with billions of >> nodes.
