ESP-32 mesh function

[akowedo]

Hello,

Will the ESP-IDF support mesh network for the ESP32, like the ESP8266 do?
Thanks

[ESP_Sprite]

Yes. We're not quite sure in what form, however. We might develop multiple options for this.

Hi espressif team,

Please can you tell when can be mesh feature ready in ESP32, since my product need mesh functionality?
Or please can you provide me a temporary mesh library similar to esp8266 on ESP32, so that i can use and promote my product.

Thanks
Ravi Kumar

Hey,

I'm also interested in mesh support with capability of more than 1000 devices. Is it feasible and can you let us know can we test some library.

Many thanks and good luck with the good work!

That scope and scale will require a full implementation of either 802.11s or B.A.T.M.A.N-adv out of something like Linux down on the embedded level....heh... It's doable, but how much so on this platform right now?

Yes. We're not quite sure in what form, however. We might develop multiple options for this.

It's hoped that you'd do at least some modified version of 802.11s that's not constrained to very suboptimal first-hop numbers (TI's doing 10...and it's BROKEN for anything other than WiFi media speakers and the like...)

I joined just to post that I need mesh on the ESP32 also for a prototype.

+1. I'm also interested.

When can the esp-idf support esp-mesh API and esp-now API?
