I'm possibly missing something, but I see no requirement to perform L3 routing between the LAN ports. > What platforms do the current implementations of Babel support? The reference implementation supports Linux and multiple BSD variants (tested on OpenBSD and Mac OS X). The Quagga implementation supports whatever Quagga supports. At any rate, it is portable code -- making a new port consists in writing a small number of platform-specific functions to interface with the kernel. > Do we really believe people are going to use wifi links to connect > devices within their homenet? Yes. The ability to simply and cheaply extend one's wireless coverage is one of the killer features of Homenet, and one that can be easily explained. -- Juliusz _______________________________________________ homenet mailing list homenet@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/homenet
