[Babel-users] Some idea on cost calculation based on hop count, loss and RTT

[valent.turkovic at gmail.com]

Hi Star,
what technology do you use for your long range links? Are there 3G
links with quite low signal quality and therefor you get a high loss
of packets?

Please explain your setup so we can get a better overall picture of
what you are trying to accomplish.

Cheers,
Valent.
