I just had a second thought about the mesh network. Setting aside the 
technical issues (which are obviously the most interesting to us), I
would say the mesh network would only make sense if the significant
amount of traffic would originate in the network and terminate in another
part of the same network. With none of the points being fixed (like a
datacenter) or else the link going to that datacenter would become a
de-facto backbone.

Would you guys have any suggestions on what kinds of applications such
network could run? The ones where traffic would both originate and
terminate in the Mesh. Say, there are 30-200 nodes in such network.

Anthony
