Hey,

just my two cents regarding LQI:
The LQI is very different for different radios. So be aware of that in heterogeneous networks with different radios!

Best Regards

It seems to need another rebase, but what other objections are there?
Not sure, I guess nobody found the time to do a review yet.
It seems that maybe it still has bugs, and maybe it should be split
up into maybe two three patches: one to add structure to collect the
stats (neighbor.h, netstats_nb_t, etc.)... I'm unclear if there are
network driver changes needed too.
Many drivers already report RSSI or LQI and with the new sub-MAC we
can always make sure to always get ETX if required. (But some drivers
already report that).

I found LQI worked best for RPL (if the radio provides it) as it doesn't
require active (unicast) communication between peers.
[I mean, except that NEIGHBOUR has a EWE, Eh!]
Heh, what's that?
