I mean that it *could* be the best implementation of rfc3561. Well, when I was searching the web for information about it (few month ago), this was the impression I had. What is the largest scale (test) setup which has been done with aodv-uu/rfc3561? /seriously curious I cannot answer this. I personally used it successfully with 3 computers. For largest scale test, please refer to upstream author. http://core.it.uu.se/core/index.php/AODV-UU It must have been tested by some other universities as well. There is an IPv6 patch provided by the University of Buckingham, for example. I think it would be a good idea to make it available for every Debian users. Probably, yes. But we are in a freeze atm, so no new packages are possible. That's also why I'm currently not interested in sponsoring aodv-uu, I rather concentrate on fixing release related stuff. Sorry :-) I thought it could go to unstable in the meanwhile. Anyway, releasing lenny is more important, and this package is not something critical. This can wait a little, and be sponsored after the lenny rush, don't you think ? :) Please CC me on your answer. Done. (No need to cc: me, I read [EMAIL PROTECTED]) Thanks.

I personally used it successfully with 3 computers. For largest scale test, please refer to upstream author. Ok. (I probably wont do that, etoobusy :) Especially with wireless mesh networks real life tests are really important as there is a lot of wireless interference. Basically wireless is a shared medium. So what works well with 3 or 5 machines, might not work so well with 50. How it works with 1000 nodes (sharing and not sharing wireless band), is yet another question. (Because of issues within the medium or because of algorithm issues/decissions.) This can wait a little, and be sponsored after the lenny rush, don't you think ? :) Sure :) Just prepare the package and announce it here. And (while you wait for a sponsor,) maybe you can look at the RC bug counter at bts.turmzimmer.net ;-) regards, Holger pgpfTgC7K8nZt.pgp Description: PGP signature
