Hello folks, being new to babel and this mailinglist ... here's my first post.
Given a a bunch of OpenWRTrouters running babel - what are the ideas / best practices for integrating non-mesh client? In my scenario, every OpenWRT-Box spawns an infrastructure networks for mobile phones, tablets, laptops, ... (in short: non-mesh clients) to provide network access. In addition each node provides network and Internet-connectivity (IPv4 and IPv6) using a babel based mesh backbone. For me, the most relevant issues are: -> Addressing Who is running DHCP, DHCPv6 and radv services? Each node? Are there dedicated ones? Are there any DHCP <-> AHCP Gateways? How do I assign IPv4 / IPv6 Subnets in a sane manner? Using AHCP? -> Roaming Consider, a non-mesh client moves from one AP to another (in detail: authenticates using MAC-layer). Does Babel detect this move? Is the OpenWRT-Box able to announce a host route for this non-mesh-client? Is there Some Book-Keeping (ARP-Tables, IPv6 Neighbor-Tabels) done to select host-routes to be announced? That's it.
