Hi Sven,

thanks for your email and sorry for the late reply.

I shifted my interests and I am currently working as front-end developer, I am afraid that my C skills could be a bit rusty :) In addition so much is going on both on the professional and personal life that I am afraid at least for the time being I hardly could inject a new project.

best, Edo

Hi,

do you still remember GSOC 2012? Yes, it is really long ago. It was a time when winters were still cold, summers still hot and it was still politically correct to say "bandwidth meter" when you actually meant "throughput meter".

Three students tried their best to implement some of the ideas floating around in the B.A.T.M.A.N. advanced community. And after some more work, most of the features reached the finishing line. TVLV [1] and the fragmentation v2 [2] were both integrated as part of the COMPAT 15 bump. But the "bandwidth meter" [3] was never ready to being merged.

Nevertheless, the lessons learned in the first implementation [4] inspired different people to continue working on it. Especially Antonio Quartulli worked on his own version to increase its usefulness. And this feature makes even more sense since we reached the new "throughput based metric" time epoch with the introduction of B.A.T.M.A.N. V.

I hope we can reignite interest in this feature with a rebased and refurbished version of this patchset. Both the batman-adv and batctl patches are based on the newest revision in their respective master branches. Also a branch called "tp_meter" was created in the batctl.git and batman-adv.git repository with these patches already applied.
