About Babel
Babel is a loop-avoiding distance-vector routing protocol for IPv6 and IPv4 with fast convergence properties. It is based on the ideas in DSDV, AODV and Cisco's EIGRP, but is designed to work well not only in wired networks but also in wireless mesh networks, and has been extended with support for overlay networks. Babel is in the process of becoming an IETF Standard.
Describe the solution you'd like
I will try to add it into meta-oe repo firstly. The patch is about for adding babeld recipes into meta-networking. But if it rejects for some reasons, I will make a PR of the patch into meta-webos.
Additional context
Babel routing protocol is related to mesh networking both wired and wireless. This protocol could be used for developing IoT services. I guess this is helpful who's into the services of the home-automation network.
Currently, I am waiting for the review from maintainer.
See https://patchwork.openembedded.org/project/oe/patches/?submitter=12968
Anyone can download the patch for installing Babel routing protocol. It has been merged into master branch. There is also backporting patch into morty which is waiting for review, but I guess it will take time for a long. You can try it until it backports.
