Just following the Babel vs. IS-IS discussion on the side line and have
no opinion one way or the other, so i hope it's not to inciting to
ask candidate consumer question:
Where would i find a simple 2 page user-facing whitepaper explaining
what the minimum topology at home is where babel provides better
user experience over the alternatives, and how exactly the user benefits.
And if this is obvious... why are home router vendors not all over it ?
So far i could only figure that i need alternative paths, if one
alternative path is great working wired, its unlikely to be interesting
to have dynamic alternatives. So maybe i need a bunch of homenet powerline APs
that can talk with each other also via WiFi so i have two potentially fast
but more likely varyingly crappy paths (powerline/wifi). I can see how dynamic
traffic balancing wifi/powrline and multi-hop wifi AP to AP wifi path selection
could be a killer feature killer here, but i have seen no data, and it's
definitely quite advanced. And i am only guessing. Maybe there is some more
obvious topology i am forgetting.
If not for home, How much is babel used in the military, oops: "MANET"
enviroments ? Maybe thats where i could find deployment benefit examples ?
How about comparing to what happens outside the home: Provider are
now offering hybrid DSL+LTE. Is that using any dynamic load distribution
to cope with the variability of LTE ? If this is a case where dynamic
traffic distribution makes sense, how would Babel fare in that setup
compared to what is being done in those DSL+LTE networks today ?
Cheers
