  Here we implement the actual routing algorithm which is heavily based on BATMAN.
  
  The fundamental difference is that we want to allow the mesh to grow beyond the
  size that could ordinarily be accomodated by the available bandwidth.  Some
  explanation follows.

  BATMAN operates by having nodes periodically send "hello" or originator messages,
  either with a limited distribution or with a sufficiently high TTL to spread
  over the whole network.  

  The latter results in a super-linear bandwidth requirement as the network grows 
  in size.

  What we wish to do is to implement the BATMAN concept, but using link-local traffic
  only.  To do this we need to change the high-TTL originator frames into something
  equivalent, but that does not get automatic network-wide distribution.

  What seems possible is to implement the BATMAN approach for link-local neighbours,
  and then have each node periodically announce the link-score to the peers that
  they know about, whether link-local or more distant.  If the number of reported 
  peers is left unconstrained, super-linear bandwidth consumption will still occur.

  However, if the number of peers that each node announces is limited, then bandwidth
  will be capped at a constant factor (which can be chosen based on the bandwidth
  available). The trade-off being that each node will only be able to see some number
  of "nearest" peers based on the available bandwidth.  

  This seems an entirely reasonable outcome, and at least on the surface would appear
  to solve our problem of wanting to allow a global-scale mesh, even if only local
  connectivity is possible, in contrast to existing mesh protocols that will not allow
  any connectivity once the number of nodes grows beyond a certain point.

  Remaining challenges that we have to think through are how to add a hierarchical
  element to the mesh that might allow us to route traffic beyond a nodes' 
  neighbourhood of peers.

  There is some hope to extend the effective range beyond the immediate neighbourhood
  to some degree by rotating the peers that a node reports on, so that a larger total
  set of nodes becomes known to the mesh, in return for less frequent updates on their
  link scores and optimal routes.

  This actually makes some logical sense, as the general direction in which to route 
  a frame to a distant node is less likely to change more slowly than for nearer nodes.
  So we will attempt this.

  With some careful thought, this statistical announcement of peers also serves to allow
  long-range but very low bandwidth links, e.g., satellite or dial-up, as well as long-shot
  WiFi where bandwidth is less constrained.

  Questions arise as to the possibility of introducing routing loops through the use of
  stale information.  So we will certainly need to have some idea of the freshness of 
  routing data.

  Finally, all this works only for bidirectional links.  We will need to think about how
  to handle mono-directional links.  BATMAN does this well, but I don't have the documentation
  here at 36,000 feet to digest it and think about how to incorporate it.

  Having landed and thought about this a bit more, what we will do is send link-local
  announcements which each direct neighbour Y will listen to and build up an estimated
  probability of a packet sent by X reaching them.  This information will be 
  periodically broadcast as the interface ticks, and not forwarded beyond link-local,
  this preventing super-scalar traffic growth.  When X hears that Y's P(X,Y) from 
  such a neighbour reception notice X can record P(X,Y) as its link score to Y. This
  deals with asymmetric delivery probabilities for link-local neighbours.

  So how do we efficiently distribute P(X,Y) to our second-degree neighbours, which 
  we shall call Z? We will assume that P(X,Z) = P(X,Y)*P(Y,Z).  Thus X needs to get
  Y's set of P(Y,a) values. This is easy to arrange if X and Y are bidirectionally
  link-local, as Y can periodically broadcast this information, and X can cache it.
  This process will eventually build up the entire set P(X,b), where b are all nodes
  on the mesh. However, it assumes that every link is bidirectional.  What if X can
  send directly to Y, but Y cannot send directly to X, i.e., P(X,Y)~1, P(Y,X)~0?
  Provided that there is some path P(Y,m)*P(m,X) >0, then Y will eventually learn 
  about it.  If Y knows that P(X,Y)>0, then it knows that X is a link-local neighbour
  monodirectionally, and thus should endeavour to tell X about its direct neighbours.
  This is fairly easy to arrange, and we will try this approach.

  So overall, this results in traffic at each node which is O(n^2+n*m) where n is the
  number of direct neighbours and m is the total number of nodes reachable on the 
  mesh.  As we can limit the number of nodes reachable on the mesh by having nodes
  only advertise their k highest scoring nodes, we can effectively limit the traffic
  to approximately linear with respect to reachable node count, but quadratic with
  respect to the number of immediate neighbours.  This seems a reasonable outcome.

  Related to this we need to continue thinking about how to handle intermittant links in a more
  formal sense, including getting an idea of when nodes might reappear.

  Turning to the practical side of things, we need to keep track of reachability scores for
  nodes via each of our immediate neighbours.  Recognising the statistical nature of 
  the announcments, we probably want to keep track of some that have ceased to be neighbours
  in case they become neighbours again.

  Probably it makes more sense to have a list of known nodes and the most recent and
  highest scoring nodes by which we may reach them, complete with the sequence numbers of last
  observation that they are based upon, and possibly more information down the track to
  support intermittant links.

     We could acknowledge immediately, but that requires the transmission of an

     need to send the ack out immediately.  It should be entirely reasonable to 
     send the ack out with the next interface tick. 

     So we can craft the ack and submit it to the queue. As the next-hop will get
     determined at TX time, this will ensure that we send the packet out on the 
     right interface to reach the originator of the self-assessment.

     So all we need to do is craft the payload and put it onto the queue for 
     OVERLAY_MESH_MANAGEMENT messages.

     Also, we should check for older such frames on the queue and drop them.

     There is one caveat to the above:  until the first selfannounce gets returned,
     we don't have an open route.  Thus we need to just make sure that the ack
     goes out broadcast if we don't know about a return path. Once the return path

   8bits - interface number
