It is my understanding that BATMAN has come out of the freifunk community, and wikipedia seems to confirm this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B.A.T.M.A.N.
And further, it appears that there is some amount of criticism of OLSR from the BATMAN camp:
http://www.open-mesh.net/wiki/the-olsr-story
This all makes sense to me, but what I don't understand is, why do all (or nearly all ?) of the freifunk networks use OLSR, and continue to use OLSR on the freifunk firmware ?
Are any of the freifunk networks using BATMAN ? If so, what routing metric are they using with it ?
Thanks.
