Elektra,
Thank you for pointing out in May 08 that most embedded boards do not
have enough CPU power to saturate the capacity of single radio link. I
was experimenting Batman in a straight line, three node configuration
with the middle node having two radios so it doesn't have to switch
between node 1 and node 3. My configuration is as follows:
node 1 node 2 node 3
------ ------ ------
ath0 <--ch 1--> ath0
ath1 <--ch 11-> ath0
When I ran iperf between node 1 and 3, I did not see any throughput
improvements with either one or two radios in node 2. I even stopped
Batman and manually setup the routes and the performance remains the
same. However, when I upgrade node 2 from a 200MHz CPU board to a
500MHz CPU board, the bandwidth went up 50%. So thanks again for
pointing out my bottleneck:)
Lastly, can someone suggest some embedded boards fast enough to push
wifi radios to its limits?
Thanks,
Shane
