tinc devel - Oct 2017 - Problems about implementing a customized overlay network via Tinc

Hi guys:

I am using Tinc to build an overlay network, but I want to control the
network topology by myself. So how can I disable the automatic full mash
feature of Tinc? Besides, my overlay network is supposed to support anycast
and I have a routing algorithm for it. I wonder if it is convenient to
implement it in Tinc, and do you have any suggestions for achieving this?

Looking forward to your reply!

Sincerely,
Johnson

Hi Johnson,

You might want to take a look at the IndirectData option, which will
prevent tinc from trying to directly reach nodes it doesn't have a direct
metaconnection to, using other nodes as intermediaries instead.

Thanks, I'll look into it.
