[Commotion-discuss] [Commotion-dev] Commotion R1 Changes

[Ben West]

All of the addressing changes look like great ideas.

Question: is the decision to address all clients within the address space
10.0.0.0/8 to, among other things, help make client roaming between nodes
easier?  I.e. implying that clients would be assigned the same IP
regardless of which node they associate with?

I noticed this item filed in the feature queue just now:
