If you refer to the hybrid routing protocol, it constructs a spanning tree of the whole mesh network rooted at some node. This is meant to be used in non-homogenous meshes (eg having an MPP or access point that acts as the root). So it may help in a school environment, but not in a simple mesh environment where all nodes are equal (if you attempt to build a different tree rooted at every node, you will probably face the wrath of a proactive protocol running on a mobile network - god save us from such a day ;-) _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
