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.
To the best of my knowledge solid engineering is always a trade-off. So you can scalability but then you get less mobility (zigbee is one of a hell scalable solution. But most of the time zigbee nodes never use the air :) )

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?
