No replies to this? Bit depressing...

>Several of these links will form part of the major backbone for Region 9
>(Dandenong Foothills) and will potentially host some of the main

>Any assistance from the RoutingWG could increase our setup pace considerably

>in the form of a decent size cluster consisting of backbone links, routing
>nodes, AP's, and client/leaf nodes.  This cluster can go on to be a testing
>ground and an example to other regions.

>There is huge potential for growth in several geographical areas and all it
>will take is some backbone infrastructure to be put in place for this to
