Re: [B.A.T.M.A.N.] vis server - global or local map?

[Gargi Purohit <gaargie@gmail.com>]

Ok so once VIS Servers synchronize - do they get updated with each
other's information. i.e. do they collate all information it got from
other vis servers to get some kind of mega information?

Basically assuming i have all nodes in a network working as vis
servers - can querying one vis server at a given point in time
give me a map of the entire network?
