ok, worked again on this issue (small net, dualradio-hardware 2.4/5 GHz mixed)
http://intercity-vpn.de/networks/giancarlo/meshrdf/netjson.html
http://intercity-vpn.de/networks/giancarlo/meshrdf/map.json

i introduced/hacked 3 new properties and modified your script:

link.carrier (e.g. ethernet|wireless)
link.frequency (e.g. 5180)
link.chanbw (e.g. 5)

now ethernet links have another color.
the next step would be:

change colors of the wireless links according to cost.
show speed of a link
show "nexthop" (but this is difficult, because the nexthop
can change when e.g. using source-specific-routing)

another thing: who feels responsible for this
javascript live-topology during battlemesh v6?
