Hello,

Does the network layer report information such as link capacity ( i.e bandwidth ) and/or expected remaining battery life . We are currently developing a protocol which uses this information to calculate optimum paths .A way out of the bandwidth calculation would be indirectly measuring the performance of the link by sending packets across. Is there a more efficient way? Can it be assumed tht such information is available , while designing the protocol like the conventional protocols.
