Yes. You explained it well. So if I have APs connected together with
Babel, can Babel help in some way when one AP (A) client migrates to
another AP (B)? I would like that client keeps the same IP and all
connections stay open. What it would be the way to setup this in a
mesh using Babel to mesh APs together.

OK, but Babel can help. For example, when client moves from A to B,
with adding a temporary route from A to B for that client's IP
address. So that all traffic going for client to A can be rerouted to
B.

Does Babel even support moving /32 announcements from node to node
dynamically? So when client gets IP, this IP is also announced on node
A with /32 announce and once it moves to B, B starts announcing it.

Sorry if my terminology is not correct. I am not a network guy. But I
hope you will still understand what I asking. Or educate me what is
proper terminology. Thanks.
