I've long been testing a few out of tree patches for babel and long have had the intent to try a few more once the first phase of the make-wifi-fast work was completed - which it mostly is, so far as lede is concerned ( https://lwn.net/Articles/705884/ ) - and babel-1.8 stablized.
I wrote up some of my thinking then in: https://github.com/dtaht/rabeld/blob/master/rabel.md back when we were having powersave issues affecting multicast (which I hope is now fixed), but I've partially deployed the "mo' unicast" patch around my testbed with no ill results. Another thing that has come up a lot lately is the default gateway failing for some reason or another, tighter integration with babel-pinger might help. And lastly, I had a chance to look at some packet captures from the wlan-slovenia network, which is essentially flat, and is sending 14 packets worth of route information on a regular basis. Finding ways to attenuate and create covering routes, and make DV more DV would be nice. I'd also written up some partially crazy thoughts towards a unicast hello extension in the same repo. -- Dave Täht Let's go make home routers and wifi faster!
