    Apparently it stands for "Better Approach To Mobile Ad-hoc Networking".

    All mesh routing protocols suffer from O(N^2) path data and traffic, collapsing at a few thousand nodes.

      this isn’t a theorem of network science, and is an easily avoided failure mode. plumtree? kad? aodv? you’re wrong :(

        It's observed in practice.

        Protocols that run over the internet don't count. I meant actual mesh routing.
