Pulled from cable hanging in a "plenum" in a secure building... Because there was no way to get cable floor to floor other than through that single shaft. For a Xerox Star system. Then there was the token bus for the little Novell network over in legal --another disaster. <blech> > Back on topic: I do think we should consider OSPF (not so keen on > ISIS, but OK) and should not rule out OLSRv2 or other LLN related work > and MANET work (though I'm far from an expert on LLN or MANET). IS-IS is easier to get to "zero config," and it's actually simpler in operation... Which is why I brought it up. :-) > We will have to extend OSPF to make zero config possible.

Or we need w new wired/wireless protocol that jumps both worlds, and would actually be acceptable and implemented by a large number of vendors. But that's another entire problem space... :-) Russ _______________________________________________ homenet mailing list homenet@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/homenet
