What did you use? "Ordenary" routers or *nix-boxes?

Sounds interesting. Willing to share?

My idea on a mesh-network, was to create create a network based on
mesh-cubes or equal, and let the monowall act as border-router to the
outside world, so to monowall just routed from the mesh-cloud to/from
the internet-cloud.

But ofcourse it would be nice to have dynamic routing implemented in
monowall.

Anopther solution would be to bulid a normal tree-structure first, and
the gradualy expand to a mesh structure as the setup becomes more
complex.

In some parts of the area a mesh would be idea, but in others the
locations is wide-spread, so the rely on links anyhow, but setting up
ring-connections would be a great solution in improve uptime and perhaps
also throughput-
