Hi!
Perhaps the BATMAN developers have thought long and hard about giving up the purity of a mesh model, and decided that it's worth it. Perhaps they haven't. It's difficult to say, since they're not interested in communicating on technical issues.
So we have one topic for the round tables. Good. Just ... we will not know how does Babel does it. Because you will not be there.
I propose a new name of a discipline at Battlemesh: Battletable! Where we get together representatives of different routing protocols and get them to fight! Which concept is better, why, how, what are arguments, cases, how to create a test case, ... We could even make it a reality show, or at least a talk show of Jerry Springer style!
I volunteer to moderate and mediate the fights, keeping them constructive and without low punches (OK, allowing some for the entertainment of the public).
You know, Juliusz, not being available for the discussion yourself makes you look like the person not interested in communication. Or you communicate only over e-mails? Because I understand perfectly that it is hard to write documentation, write long explanatory e-mails, we much more like to do concrete stuff: code, deploy, test ... And such events as Battlemesh are perfect especially because all interested-in-the-subject people can get together and you have a better feeling that it is "worth" the energy to explain all internals of routing protocols to others, because you are doing it to the multiple people at the same time. And a nice side effect can then be a video posted on your website with this discussion where others can watch you later.
