 Each B.A.T.M.A.N (better approach to mobile ad-hoc networking) node stores routing information about the neighbouring node it can reach. If because of packet loss etc. another node cannot be reached it will not be part of the local node's routing information.

 The minimal requirement to run Mesh networking is having at least one network interface configured.
 A WLAN or Bluetooth network interface can be used for this (actually you could use a wired
 interface but you won't be very mobile then!).
