I've just come upon an interesting paper that experimentally compares the performance of OLSR, BATMAN and Babel.

Very interesting analysis - thanks for sharing this with us.

4. They ran the routing daemons with the default parameters. This means that BATMAN ran with an OGM interval of 1 second, while Babel used a Hello interval of 4 seconds. It would have been interesting to see the results with similar parameters.

Although I get your point, you probably share my belief in default options, hence it is the right thing to compare. Useful defaults are the first step towards a working protocol. ;)
