So, from my initial understanding, cjdns nodes are
obligated to stay in
touch with physically close nodes and address-close nodes.
I asked cjd to clarify a bit. "With others there is only one layer, each
node makes a decision to route to one of it's directly connected neighbors
and that is the end." Whereas cjdns can have routers and switches
(non-nodes) in between and still calculate quality links. Calculations are
done by number of hops and latency.
So, if all computers installed cjdns and became nodes, routers wouldn't
need to become nodes themselves. However if routers became nodes, non-node
clients of the router would be able to access the cjdns network via NAT66.

Just expanding on my brief email last night:
When using CJDNS you need to find at least one peer to access the
network, in this case, Hyperboria. So the router comes preconfigured with
peers.
I plan on configuring my laptop to be a node today. If I get it done in
time, I'll bring it to the meeting tonight and we can travel to Hyperboria.
Does anyone know how CJDNS actually works? I read the whitepaper and
there seems to be no discussion of any of the core concerns of mesh
networking protocols. My initial reaction is that it seems like it's a bit
of a naive approach, and that the people involved didn't learn from
existing projects like BATMAN, OLSR and Babel in designing their protocol.
I realize that their goals are different from those projects, but I haven't
seen any calculations or simulations of how a large CJDNS network would
function. Perhaps CJDNS is just not being developed as a mesh protocol? It
seems that the Seattle Meshnet people feel otherwise though, and are
actually using it as a meshnet protocol.
Someone please tell me why I/we should care about CJDNS. What problem
does it solve that is related to mesh networks? Point to point encryption?
Is that it?
