Hi,

I have posted an early, incomplete draft on the use of Babel for Wi-Fi
(IEEE 802.11) mesh. Sorry it isn't further along but it is a start.

Thanks,
Donald

Abstract:

   The BABEL routing protocol (RFC 8966) is well applicable (RFC 8967)
   to networks with unstable link metrics such as wireless networks.
   Wi-Fi (IEEE Std 802.11-2024) is an example of such a network and the
   Wi-Fi standard includes a mesh feature which was specified to be
   configurable for different routing protocols and link metrics.  This
   document specifies how, in Wi-Fi mesh, to use BABEL and/or the delay
   based link metric specified in RFC 9616.
