Show Distance value in node status?

Hi, Mike: Perhaps. Perhaps publishing some local standards, practices, or a local email list server would also work. It is mentioned in the 'Help' page on every node: http://localnode.local.mesh/help.html "The best way to test an optimal distance settings is to do an 'iperf' test directly between 2 nodes to measure the performance of this RF channel." and "The auto distance setting is best used on quality point to point links. 50% performance increases have been observed over static. Auto distance settings does not work well with many nodes and marginal links. In this senario, the round trip packet timing has a very wide range of time values. Consequently the timeout value becomes inflated and inconsistent. Static settings should be used in this situation. It is best to measure the link with iperf to compare thoughput and determine the best distance setting. " I typically install 'iperfspeed' at 'terminal' nodes. Perhaps some of the gurus could post how to determine whether the 'distance to farthest node' is misconfigured by view the results of an 'iperfspeed' result. Most often I use 'traceroute' for network testing. (I have heard that Windows spells it 'tracert', but I don't do windows, so YMMV.) I hope this helps, Chuck
