Hello, - Mesh routing in Linux implements the hwmp protocol. - I had delved into the mesh code in the latest git wireless-testing tree. - The part for on demand routing is implemented via the mesh_path_start_discovery() and other methods and via sending/receiving the MPATH_PREQ /MPATH_PREP/MPATH_PERR messages (see mesh_hwmp.c) - My question is about proactive routing: First, AFAIK, proactive routing is mandatory in hwmp (the name hybrid suggests it, proactive routing and on demand routing). This technique should proactively build a tree topology. AFAIK, there should be at least one Portal is present in the network (so that the tree shall be rooted at that Portal). However, I could not find the Root Announcement (RANN) message which is needed proactive routing in the mac80211 stack. Is proactive routing implemented at all in the mesh code in the Linux kernel?
