Exactly how the XO-1 mesh functions on this level is frustratingly unknown, but when I did a couple of simple observations once before, the clocks appear to synchronize with the neighbours. > Which clock? Do you mean one for the individual bits, or one > for packet-level time division? I mean the clock in the 802.11 MAC sublayer. This defines the basis of the timing synchronization function (TSF) which is a core part of 802.11. Without synchronized clocks, nodes cannot communicate.
