That's not what Babel is optimised for. Babel is built around the assumption that links are unstable. A Babel node keeps a fair amount of state so it can reroute quickly in the case of a link failure. When you reboot a Babel node, it has no state, and therefore needs to rebuild all of its state from scratch. You will see that if you run a Babel network then start breaking your tunnels -- babeld should reroute around failure within milliseconds (after the failure is detected). The same should happen I believe that this is representative of real-world use cases. If you want to be rebooting your whole network often, they perhaps Babel is not the right tool for the job. -- Juliusz _______________________________________________ Babel-users mailing list Babel-users@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/babel-users
