After much thought, I have settled on the following: Rationale: support for wireless transit links is a distinguishing feature of Homenet, and one that is requested by our users. In the absence of dynamically computed metrics, the routing protocol attempts to minimise the number of links crossed by a route, and therefore prefers long, lossy links to shorter, lossless ones. In wireless networks, "hop-count routing is worst-path routing". I find the previous version clearer and more informative, but I've read ISO/IEC 10589, and therefore understand that the author of a Standard should aim to sound professional rather than indulging in such amateurish endeavours as being clear or informative. -- Juliusz ___ homenet mailing list homenet@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/homenet

Ah yes, much better. I for one believe it prudent to adopt this style for all homenet documents, lest we risk being relegated to the obscurity of the cold and corporate world of yesteryear ;) -Toke ___ homenet mailing list homenet@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/homenet

"masters" "liege lords" "jarls" "overseers" "(robot) overlords" "decision-making units" "callers of shots" "head honchos" (As you can see, I tried and failed to come up with something better; I'd tend to agree that "decision makers" is a bit cold and corporate, but then we are writing a standards document, not a 19th century romance novel...) -Toke ___ homenet mailing list homenet@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/homenet
