layer (IANA) protocol number.
From IP point of view FLAME behaves like a 'normal' ethernet-type MAC
layer; no need for new IEEE protocol number.

Hi Stephen,
Yes, more or less, but with a twist.
802.1D does not allow retransmitting over the same interface (which is
what basically happens in mesh networks), and WDS uses static

Hi!
FLAME stands for Forwarding Layer for Meshing
FLAME provides an intermediate layer between the network

What is wrong with meshing on L3?

Thanks for your help on this issue.

FLAME is an intermediate layer between existing MAC and network (IP)
layers.
From MAC layer point of view FLAME is another network layer protocol
