I am programming a new layer 3(+4) protocol for zero administration (community/mesh) networks. It is source routed. Routers know about the connections and can optionally do onion like reencryption. There is also a QoS/credit system with explicit Xon/Xoff instead of "congestion avoidance". A few things are already running (see http://michaelblizek.twilightparadox.com/projects/cor/index.html ) for the code and a few more ressources. The drawback will be that ressource usage on the routers is likely higher than IP. At the moment I do not know exactly how much higher. It seems like the price, I just hope it is not too high. -Michi
