Hi folks,

I'm going to start a small mesh (13 nodes, initially) covering my city and 
linking some friends of mine.
At the moment the equipment (Ubiquiti RocketM - NanoBridge 5GHz) is already 
deployed (has been working good for a year or so), structured as AP-STA in one 
large LAN domain (with one central dhcp/firewall/gateway serving the whole 
192.168.9.0/24 subnet). 

I would like to migrate the topology to a routed network, where the wireless 
mesh nodes have IPs allocated inside 10.9.0.0/16, and below each one of these 
nodes there will be a local LAN with reserved subnet.
Some of the networks already have internet connectivity, that will be shared 
through the mesh to whom needs it [*].

10.9.11.1 <----> 192.168.11.0/24 --> 192.168.11.1 (internet gateway)
   ||
   ||
10.9.12.1 <----> 192.168.12.0/24
   ||
   ||
10.9.13.1 <----> 192.168.13.0/24 --> 192.168.13.1 (internet gateway)
   ||
   ||
10.9.14.1 <----> 192.168.14.0/24
   ||
   ||
10.9.xx.1 <----> 192.168.xx.0/24

Batman-adv will take care of the "routing" inside the wireless mesh (links 
described as " || " in the diagram), since I like the L2 transparency.
Anyway, I need that any host on the 192.168.xx.0/24 subnets will be able to 
talk to each other.

I know that IS-IS works outside IP protocol, so that would be the perfect 
companion for L2 batman-adv path finding, and will allow me in the future to 
easily activate IPv6.
How can this be done with quagga-isisd? Could it be the right solution?
Is there any config file available for UCI?

I also plan to change the operating mode to adhoc, to better serve some areas, 
hoping that performances don't suffer too much.
So, in your opinion, would be better to stay on BackFire ath9k Open IBSS or is 
the Attitude Adjustment ath9k RSN IBSS (PtMP) convenient/stable enough?

Many many thanks in advance for your time.

Sincerely,
Luca
