You are getting out of areas I am familiar with in Linux. Would RPL on Linux work like OLSR does? OLSR talks between nodes in user space add. And then adds/deletes routes in the kernel based on those conversations. One thing I've always wanted was a unified RPL system where I could have a cloud of 1,000 motes with a dozen border routers scattered in the cloud. Those border routers would be wired together via Ethernet. So a mote on one side of campus could send a packet to a mote on the other side and have it use Ethernet for most of the trip. I don't want the packet taking 35 radio hops to cross the campus. > > BTW, John, I would like if you could participate in that IRC > meeting(s). Would you like to join? You want to get Mar involved.
