The problem is that Juliusz is stating that Babel doesn't know anything about
"clients" and that this name doesn't exists in Babel's documentation (afaik) at

By the way, clients are hosts connected to mesh nodes by means of some interface
that are then announced over the network (the so called HNA in OLSR language).
