I have the following questions about the OLPC-Mesh-Networking (I looked at http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Wireless and searched laptop.org, but could not find any detailed information on the following topics): 1. Where can I get the current D1.0 802.11s draft PDF ? 2. If there is no current draft PDF available, my questions are in particular: (a) I read that the 802.11s draft is designed for only up to 32 nodes. Is that correct ? In urban/academic surroundings there will be need for *much* more nodes. Are there any ideas how this design problem will be solved ? (b) In the public 802.11s draft details I could not find anything about gateway descriptions. How will the mesh-network know what node is a gateway-node ? How will the mesh-network know what node is the fastest gateway and what node is the most reliable gateway ? (c) Are there any patents on 802.11s ? (d) How settled is the current D1.0 802.11s draft ? (e) Which parts are still "in flow", which parts are definite ?
