Dear Ronald, [Both Babel MLs in CC]
At the WG meeting, you asked about the future of the Babel-RTT draft. The protocol extension isn't going away. It's been used in production for many years at Nexedi, where it works beautifully. No other production-quality routing protocol known to me has this kind of automation. As to the draft, the situation is somewhat less good. Baptiste Jonglez, who did the initial implementation, does not appear to be interested in working on the subject. The current draft merely describes the packet format, it doesn't fully describe the algorithms needed to make it work well. As to the algorithms, we did determine experimentally that they work well, but we haven't been able to get a satisfactory theoretical explanation of why that is the case. So in order to make it into a peer-reviewed paper or an internet-draft, I would need help from a competent dynamic systems theorist. Any help with that would be welcome. -- Juliusz _______________________________________________ Babel-users mailing list [email protected] https://alioth-lists.debian.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/babel-users
