Network association algorithm

Hi John, Dan,

> 4. The XO finds no AP nor MPP, and becomes a mesh node on channel 1
> w. no internet access

Some questions...

1. Is this algorithm using the MPP anycast address to discover the best MPP?
2. Is DHCP replacing the non-standard MPP requests used by mpp-utils?

I was contacted a while ago by Miguel Alvarez (miguel at laptop.org) who
is looking for a more "standards compliant" mechanism to configure
MPs.  He suggested to replace the custom mppreqs with DNS-SD.  Has he
been part of these discussions?

Cheers,

Javier
