Re: [B.A.T.M.A.N.] how well does batman-adv scale

i think this could scale , but you will need sufficient power / ethernet capacities at the nodes.

and the biggest problem may be that these endpoints make much noise on the layer2 level. (disovery protocolls and stuff like this)

you could easily imagine what would happen if you have a layer2 switch with 100000 ports.

i think that most of the time you will not do this, and implement some sort of routing between some clouds of batman-adv networks.

Hi list!

Been lurking for almost a year on the battlemesh list and recently joined here as well.

I'm curious about how well batman-adv scales. Would a network of 10 000 nodes work well? What about 100 000 nodes or 1 000 000?

Thanks! fuumind
