[Babel-users] babeld interface

[Christof Schulze]

Hello,

when building a large mesh network, Freifunk communities use maps such that 
users can find nodes in the real world.
For this there must be a daemon collecting telemetry in the network.
This daemon must know a little bit about the network topology, at least 
its neighbours.

Nils and I wrote such a daemon, called mmfd. It is able to forward 
multicast packets in the whole network. To learn about the topology and 
the relevant neighbours, it queries babeld: mmfd is listening via 
"monitor" on the babeld socket.

This works reasonably well as long as the string output format of the 
babel socket does not change.

What do you think of providing the same data over json to make it better 
parsable?

Regards

Christof
