<div dir="ltr">As I am doing, also, would be to submit to a grant process from somewhere - ardc is who I am targeting primarily with my proposal, but nlnet has been a consistent funder, and (sometimes), comcast. I keep hoping the telecom infrastructure project gains clue with their openwifi group - but far too few overall can understand the vision you have. I was hoping that now that enough people knew that starlink had gone fq_codel that there would be a rush to implement - but noooooo....<div><br></div><div>and you want to go waaaay beyond that. I think talking about where you want to go in front of 802.11 would be a great place to start.

The upper MAC would reside in the fronthaul concentrator and be remote, supporting up to 48 MAC lowers. Hopefully scale to maybe to higher.
