Hi,

I think the most important point to keep in mind is that it was quite a small experiment. We did try experimenting with things like orbit lab, which would have given us a much bigger experimental testbed, but we had technical problems with that.

Another important point, which we probably should have stressed further, is that all the routing protocols needed per flow rate limiting. We found that the mesh nodes which were closest to the sink would starve the more distant nodes of bandwidth.

We are happy to answer any questions people might have with that paper.

     to have roughly the same bandwidth -- and I think it might be an
     artefact of the way Babel measures packet loss, using piggy-backed
     Hellos.)
