Exactly my point. If enough open mesh networks proliferate they will eventually all mesh with one another and if we don't have a way to cope with it, we will have a severe performance problem.

Our present financial crisis arose from the use by hedge fund managers of the Black-Sholes algorithm that promised its users that it would "hardly ever fail", but for which I showed if enough players used it, failure would be inevitable and disastrous.

We need solutions that can scale to any possible size.

So you are proposing a flat layer 2 network with billions of
nodes. What do you think will happen to performance when billions of
nodes receive every ARP broadcast?
