Design

minimum rssi something to enable seamless wireless client transfer between APs

goal: playbooks written to be deployable/undeployable without making a mess

Possibly implemented with a couple NanoPI NEO running Debian. They could also run other light services (NTP, …).

Allows for a independent MAC layer management network. I think this may be limited to management with winbox or connection via another mikrotik device. Not clear what exactly it allows for. TODO

Many devices would be convenient to work across networks, but usually rely on some broadcast mechanism to be found on the network.

With the exception of the printer most are gaming/entertainment devices. I could segregate based on this attribute, but my own devices tend to be multi-role and I would still have the same issue.

Ubiquiti (igmp snooping, multicast enhancement, and multicast dns) setting, then they need additional mdns repeater. Haven't found a straight answer on whether mikrotik devices can be made to handle this situation. Mikrotik does have PIM-SM (protocol independent multicast - sparse module) that might enable some sort of wider multicast area. Maybe also work around with an independent mdns repeater that is multihomed. Can the NanoPi NEO be multihomed with it's single interface?
