Ok, so clouds of a few hundred nodes would work reasonably well and at the same time keep customization to a minimum.
What makes OSPF a better candidate for interfacing between the clouds? Does it keep a more limited routing table and thus minimize overhead traffic? I haven't been able to figure it out good enough yet.

Hi,
"works well" depends much on your scenario.
I've seen many well-working networks with 100-300 nodes. There are Freifunk community networks with over 1000 nodes running batman-adv (i.e. "standard" users like laptops and smartphones), but they employ a lot of filtering to avoid too much broadcast.
Unless you have special restrictions like minimal broadcast traffic or high capacity on the wireless links, memory and CPU, I would not recommend to plan for 10 000 nodes and beyond.
Cheers, Simon

Hi list!
Been lurking for almost a year on the battlemesh list and recently joined here as well.
I'm curious about how well batman-adv scales. Would a network of 10 000 nodes work well? What about 100 000 nodes or 1 000 000?
Thanks! fuumind
