Hi Dan,
Anyway, I see no problem in renaming this IEEE80211_IF_TYPE_MESH_POINT
(even though I just heard of a proposal to rename Mesh Points as Mesh
Stations... )
How concrete is that?
Well ... I have plans to propose to change some terminology.
It could obviously be changed later but best to keep the code
terminology consistent with the standards terminology unless the
standards terminology is completely wack.
Please consider that 802.11s had tremendous changes since 2003. While
the original PAR discussed meshing of APs only, the revised PAR is much
broader and considers meshing of 802.11 devices in general.
Therefore, some of our old terminology doesn't really fit any longer.
Furthermore, the adoption of 802.11 terms for single-hop case often
confuses people when being used in the context of a mesh network. It's
always painful when the 802.11s task group wastes time because people
have different understanding of the words the use ...
Best regards,
Guido
