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?
