I was always under the impression that every node that you add to a mesh network that cannot directly see a node elsewhere in the mesh will half your current bandwidth. I know that a simple repeater halves your bandwidth because it has to listen, then transmit, then listen, then transmit. Doubles the amount of data that is transmitted, effectively. If the repeater can overlap it's transmission with receiving, then maybe that decrease would be minimized. /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
