Good day, I'm currently finishing writing my bachelor thesis whose topic is mesh networks. I have been running batmand and comparing it in performance to olsrd; one metric I can't seem to be able to measure, though, is network convergence time, i.e., the time it takes for a new node to be discovered when connected and forgotten when disconnected from the network. This is due to the fact that batmand doesn't seem to display updated information in the same way that olsrd does (with DebugLevel=2). I've tried looking at the routing tables but these also aren't updated when a host disconnects and get purged after some time has passed. Is there any way I can get a real time view of the network to calculate the time it takes for a host to be discovered/forgotten?
Thanks,
