Does anyone have good technical resources on how mesh networks work? Who's the authority on the identity of a recipient? Do you exchange something out of band

Does anyone have good technical resources on how mesh networks work?
Who's the authority on the identity of a recipient? Do you exchange something out of band (for example a QR code) first? How do messages get routed? How do messages behave under constant network partitioning and healing? Does it use your GPS location for network topology purposes? etc etc
- rolph 7y agohave a look at these: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B.A.T.M.A.N https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B.A.T.M.A.N. https://www.open-mesh.org/projects/open-mesh/wiki https://www.open-mesh.org/projects/open-mesh/wiki https://kb.datto.com/hc/en-us/articles/360024059951-Legacy-Open-Mesh-Open-Mesh-development-information https://kb.datto.com/hc/en-us/articles/360024059951-Legacy-O... http://developer.servalproject.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=content:servalmesh:development http://developer.servalproject.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=cont... there is also an open mesh for routers if you have the hardware and propensity look at openWRT and find a mesh add on for it find out what routers you have available to flash it onto and then you will have a MESH node.
- thw0rted 7y agoDo you know of any good resources talking about considerations for handling adversarial nodes in these networks? For example, what's to stop a rogue implementation from advertising that it has a low cost / short distance to every other node it's ever seen, reporting that data has been sent successfully that actually wasn't, etc? These links give some good background but I haven't seen anything on there about trust in a hostile environment.
