My own opinion is worth what it'll cost you (0), since there are
probably as many thoughts regarding this as subs to the list and variety
of networks built with the software, from the simplest 4 or radio
interconnection schemes to the borg-like WAN system (said with
affection, ok?)...however, that being said, from a risk analysis and
continuity of operations standpoint...I'd initiate the permalink from
the hub out. One less thing for the spokes to worry about, and since
the hub is the hub (how's that for a redundant statement) or core of the
net...makes sense to have it do what it's doing (interconnecting N+1
repeaters) and let the leaves do what they do: managing the radio
interfaces and forwarding the audio back to the mother ship.
I'm sure others will agree, disagree, or want to discuss for discussion
and clarification of thought purposes...and at least with the
flexibility of the system, there is no 100% right or 100% wrong answer. :)
