Hi
First an introduction - I am a David Johnson - I've been working on mesh protocols for a few years now and I've built a 49 node wireless grid to benchmark mesh protocols in South Africa: http://wirelessafrica.meraka.org.za/wiki/index.php/49-node_Indoor_Mesh
Elektra and I did some experiments with batman (do I have to use the dots @#!!!) and olsr at the beginning of the year and we wrote a paper showing how batman outperforms olsr on CPU usage and better throughput due to less flapping. The results were very impressive!
Well, it is interesting that you note that. I read the PDF. One thing that struck me was that the settings for OLSR were such that OLSR used *full flooding*. (MPR 7 etc) That is *exactly* NOT what it is meant to do!
yes, the MPR idea was a good idea, in theorie.
as i heard, it did not work out at all and made the mesh even more unstable.
i think, the problem was in the way of selecting MPR, but i don't remember exactly, elektra did a very good explanation that time, some 2 or 3 years ago.
it is quite sad to see that knowledge lost in the current OLSR developer community.
elektra, could you be so nice and enlight aaron on the topic of problems with the MPR selection?
So I must object to the objectivity of the study. Basically the study was comparing an elephant and a wale Well.. both are great ideas :) But ... they do live in different terrain and under different assumptions :)))
got me?
please calm your temper.
...
Thanks and look forward to becoming part of the discussion
