[Commotion-dev] OLSRd plugin for service discovery

[Paul Gardner-Stephen]

Hello,

This whole idea of locality of information, and value being related to
proximity to some area is something that we very much agree with.

I think that there are a variety of complementary ways that it can be
supported by the network.  This TTL concept is a great one. In Serval
Rhizome, we also have implemented a geobounding box, as well as just
allowing the natural localised diffusion of bundles to allow
localisation of information.

Paul.
