are you considering attaching metrics to HNA?
That is not necessary as each non-batman host is connected to a batman host which has a metric. Therefore the implementation just needs to support the HNA metric. The batman daemon does so since quite a long time. It is on the feature list for batman-adv 0.3 but does not require any protocol changes unless I miss your point.
maybe you do, as you might have costs between the connected network and the connecting batman node.
when you have more then one batman node connecting a network to the mesh, this costs should be relevant.
How about ipv6?
I can't follow you here. The length of the protocol identifier (IPv4 address/IPv6 address/mac address/random number) is not relevant for the routing protocol.
ok, i thought you were talking about an implementation, so i asked about support for this addresstype.
so am i right in thinking the next batman will be protocol independent?
