I have some questions about available Mesh technologies, and meshing concepts in general. I'd like to start by describing my understanding of some basic classes of mesh technology.
Layer 2 meshing: BATMAN-adv for example
Layer 3 Meshing: OLSR, BATMAN, AODV, ABR, DSR
Dynamic routing (Layer 3): BGP, OSPF, IS-IS etc
Technically it seems to me like 2 and 3 are basically the same thing, but with different assumptions built in about how dynamic things are. The technologies in 3 are used where chang…
I prefer OLSR, but that's not a mesh technology for client roaming (it's more of a self healing routable network). So your choice depends on your use case.
