I'm similarly confused about people's insistence on a rigid dichotomy between the approaches. I never regarded our mesh work to be aimed at replacing proper infrastructure -- its goal was to provide a viable (if degraded) transport when proper infrastructure was prohibitively expensive or otherwise not an option. We always knew that this approach carried scaling limits, and that's _fine_. As Michail says, this by no means makes the system useless. > We have serious problems making Avahi and even the Jabber server do > their > thing with small numbers of nodes These two are very different. Avahi is hitting design and network limits. With Jabber, the problem is our ugly shared roster hack which makes the system do something it's not designed to; this is not an issue intrinsic to Jabber. -- Ivan Krstić <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | http://radian.org _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
