Hi Frank, Here's an article about wireless "green mesh" and HFW you might find interesting. It's just another Layer 3 routing protocol but what struck me was it's the first time I've seen anything that alluded to a wireless transceiver at the fiber termination point feeding a dense wireless network. arstechnica.com Reader Note: There are many versions of Layer 3 mesh networking schema. The problem they ran into stated at the end of the article is the critical problem to be solved - scaling wireless mesh networks. Although that wasn't the purpose of their project, they found out that you can't do that at Layer 3 only, although that's where just about everyone tries to do it for an array of reasons I won't go into here. Last time I looked at the goings-on at 802.11s IEEE committee (wireless mesh standard) they proposed a few tweaks to the MAC. Would anyone like to provide a summary or update? TIA.
