| Comments |
| This paper is a good case study on Wireless Mesh Telephony technology. Several comments are listed below: * In the last paragraph of page 3, the context “a supernode would contain…”, what does a “supernode” mean ? In the next paragraph (in page 5), what does “the role of supernode to the Linksys WRT54Gx” mean ? The authors should explain the “supernode” clearly. * In the first paragraph of page 5, the term “OpenWRT” and “BATMAN” suddenly appear as important “findings”. However, these two terms are not introduced until page 6 and page 8, respectively. The authors should explain why these “findings” are important in page 5. * In the last sentence of the first paragraph of page 6, “Best of all…”, I don’t know why it is “Best of all”. The authors should give the reason. * In the last paragraph of page 8, “This has emerged as the most difficult aspect of the project.”, why is it difficult ? The authors should provide more information to this aspect. |
