However, for a mesh it is natural to use symmetric (decentralised) link technologies -- wired Ethernet is fine, 802.11 in ad-hoc mode is fine, while 802.11 in the standard AP/STA configuration creates a number of interesting issues (such as which of your nodes will be in the AP configuration and which will be STAs, and so on). It might be the case that your particular topology will work fine in an AP/STA configuration, but doing that will reduce flexibility quite a lot. >>> > http://www.pps.jussieu.fr/~jch/software/babel/BabelTool.png >>> Picture, no code? Sorry. darcs get http://www.pps.jussieu.fr/~jch/software/repos/BabelTool/ Be aware that it's ugly, buggy, incomprehensible code. You have been warned.
