I've got an #802.11s !mesh where all of the meshpoint nodes are also hosting #4addr APs that bridge onto the mesh (and some 4addr client<->wired bridges); having some difficulty reasoning about where and why I actually need #STP in this setup to avoid routing-loops, how often I should expect the topology to get out of sorts, and how quickly I can expect the system to sort itself out. -

@bobjonkman, I think I'm finding that !mesh #networking w/ #802.11s is not nearly as hard as everyone makes it out to be: https://github.com/o11s/open80211s/wiki/HOWTO -

I spent at least a week learning about BATMAN, barman-adv, OLSR, etc. before I realised that #802.11s !mesh was a thing. -

@vinzv @windigo But they're using #BATMAN and I want to try out #802.11s (as with future configurability and implementations, it should be as simple as switching a "backend" option to change the mesh protocol used in the 802.11s network). All the meshes out there today tend to use lots of userspace tools - I just want to hand it off to the kernel and look away.
