[OLSR-users] SOT: Microsoft Mesh

[John Gorkos]

Ahh, the answer to my question is found here:
http://research.microsoft.com/mesh/

Seems like MS has done the normal:  taken an IETF standard and "improved" on 
it:  (FTA) "We have modified DSR extensively to improve its behavior, most 
significantly to support link quality metrics."

The biggest advantage that I see MS having is the ability to get more 
information out of the wireless radio drivers than the OSS community is.  How 
nice would it be to be able to pull per-peer SNR from the broadcom radio and 
integrate that data into the LQ?  When you sign the NDA that MS does with the 
radio chipset manufacturers, you get that data.

Just an idle distraction in an otherwise busy day.
