I hope the is the right place to ask this question. I'm just looking for the correct name of the type of network routing I'm attempting to implement so I can learn and implement it.
I'm using linux (Raspberry Pi3) that has the ethernet port and a USB Wi-Fi dongle to support an ad-hoc mesh (+babel) IPv6 network over WiFi, this works fine, and the Pi's communicate.
I want to route the ethernet traffic (one end the master that communicates to all the various slaves with single IPv4 ip each).
Topology is as follows:
_____ _____
\ | / IPv6 \ | /
\|/ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ \|/ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ --> to next device (21, 22, 23...)
| |
----------- ----------
| | | |
10.10.10.1/23------| ??? | | ??? |------ 10.10.10.20/0
(master) |_________| |________| (slave)
My question is, what kind of routing the (???) do I need to set up to forward packets from 10.10.10.1 to 10.10.10.20, 21, 23...
I'm looking for something where each of the slave devices don't need a special configuration and they figure that out themselves baised on a least cost metric or something similar.
(If you're interested, this for for snowgun control at a ski resort that spans miles and I can probably reach from gun to the next closest gun, but no way I can reach all of the guns at the same time, speed is not much of an issue, it's just modbus telemetry).
