I did not find any references to this idea in a forum search so...
Is there a possibility of implementing a feature to limit WAN access through an AREDN node to nodes/stations some specific number of hops away? This would prevent nodes/stations more than <x> number of hops away, such as 12 hops, from trying to use a WAN-enabled node and thus bog the path over those hops down. Nodes/stations at or less than the set number of hops away would have WAN access, which is more likely to be viable and usable.
Around here, I would limit it to like three hops max. YMMV.
