Hello,when building a large mesh network, Freifunk communities use maps such that users can find nodes in the real world.
For this there must be a daemon collecting telemetry in the network.This daemon must know a little bit about the network topology, at least its neighbours.
Nils and I wrote such a daemon, called mmfd. It is able to forward multicast packets in the whole network. To learn about the topology and the relevant neighbours, it queries babeld: mmfd is listening via "monitor" on the babeld socket.
This works reasonably well as long as the string output format of the babel socket does not change.
What do you think of providing the same data over json to make it better parsable?
