This 25m radius is not legislated nor approved by the working group. I don't see anyone else supporting your contention here, and I think the sooner we resolve that there is no such limitation, the better. Which then almost immediately invalidates your observation about DNS and DHCP servers. > > I agree we could find very dynamic ways of Routers and Hosts of an > ad-hoc network moving in and out such that subnet structure is not > maintained, and thus servers not being reachable.

Of course if you don't have aggregation, you can just as easily live with host routes. Which is my point all along. > >> >> >> Surely you will agree.

Surely, if we have economically realizable subnets, we should take advantage of them. That is not at all the same as insisting that we _must_ have subnets, or even worse distorting physical reality to lend credence to some fictional subnet boundaries. Regards, Charlie P.
