How big should they be allowed to grow before forming a new cloud? fuumind ons 2017-04-26 klockan 17:10 +0200 skrev jens: > i think this could scale , but you will need sufficient power / > ethernet > capacities at the nodes. > > and the biggest problem may be that these endpoints make much noise > on > the layer2 level. > (disovery protocolls and stuff like this) > > you could easily imagine what would happen if you have a layer2 > switch > with 100000 ports. > > i think that most of the time you will not do this, and implement > some > sort of routing between some clouds of batman-adv networks. > > > > On 26.04.2017 16:20, fuumind wrote: > > > > Hi list! > > > > Been lurking for almost a year on the battlemesh list and recently > > joined here as well.  > > > > I'm curious about how well batman-adv scales.
