ORBIT-USER: Limiting Connectivity

[chris at orderonenetworks.com]

Thanks for the reply.

For my experiment, I'd like to have as many devices as possible in the
network, but each device having limited connectivity such that only
directly adjacent nodes can hear each other.

Basically, I'm looking to create the largest, most complex routing problem
I can in a stable network. The more neighbors a node has, the easier the
routing problem - with the worst case having every node being one hop from
every other node.

Can I use these three injectors to allow this to happen? Or will I end up
with three islands of nodes that can't see anything and most other nodes
seeing many neighbors?

If the injectors can't do this, can you suggest any alternatives?

Thanks,
Chris
