[Commotion-dev] Draft Roadmap

[Michael Rogers]

This brings to mind some of the work on finding connected dominating
sets, cluster heads, etc, in MANETs - the goal being to reduce
collisions in areas of high node density by selecting a few nodes to act
as a sort of routing backbone for the rest.

Ben, would your proposal also leave a few nodes transmitting at full
power, or would everyone turn down their tx power? It seems like leaving
a few nodes at full power might help to keep the dense parts of the mesh
connected to each other as well as connected internally?

Cheers,
Michael
