For my example: A -- B -- C If I have computer the shortest path to B (from A and C). Then when I am computing shortest paths to C, I do not need to search any node behind the B, when I reach B. Ok, perhaps a more complex example will clarify things: A -- B -- C -- D The shortest path

Hi! But is this really Bellman-Ford algorithm? Because Bellman-Ford is a single-source algorithm and Babel in fact computes (distributed) all-source algorithm? Or you see Babel as an Bellman-Ford run multiple times, for each source ones? Because it is not really that as it reuses data it has

Hi, Mitar. Does Babel require bidirectional reachability? Yes, although routing is not necessarily symmetric. In Cost Computation section it is written that if the txcost is infinite, then the cost is infinite so probably this means such links are seen as non-existent (worst cost). No, you

even for such simple graph as: A c B there is not luck for me, as B cannot tell to the A that it received the message from it Right. So how B tells A this? If I understand only with IHUs? Which are sent only directly? Right. So if there is a bad link backwards this could make

Hi! I admit I have still not read the whole Babel's draft but I am skipping from sections to sections as I find them interesting. Does Babel require bidirectional reachability? In draft I read that Babel tries to determine bidirectional reachability, but I was not sure if this means only such

Ciao Saverio, I'm trying to test (again) AHCP on OpenWRT. Great. it was only IPv6, and it was completely stateless without server/clients. That was AHCP 0. It was a very clean and very robust protocol. I later tried to generalise the AHCP 0 design to stateful configuration (AHCP 0.5), and

Hello, I'm trying to test (again) AHCP on OpenWRT. I say again because I used AHCP in a little testebed about 18 months ago. The configuration was in a .dat file living in: /usr/lib/ahcp/ahcp.dat and it was only IPv6, and it was completely stateless without server/clients. It all worked very
