could possibly be a reasonable topic for the IETF to consider?

I look forward to seeing the IEEE reinvent the network layer and put it _below_ the link layer. This should be fun.

(What else than a network layer would you call something that resolves "end-to-end" addresses into next hop addresses, which is necessary to navigate across the mesh. This would also need some sort of routing protocol and a hop limit field.)

Obviously having wireless mesh nodes route IP would be much too simple.
