Hello, I am working with BATMAN-ADV and have successfully setup a mesh. In my implementation of the mesh, the network requires BATMAN to operate in a linear topology and ideally have node 1 hop to node 2 then through node 3 and finally node 4. Node1 .Node2 ..Node3 Node4 In this network hops are preferred rather than distant links with low RSSI values(-70). The problem that Im seeing is that the protocol chooses routes that have the least hops but have RSSI values at about -78 to -90 rather than routing through the closest node with RSSI values in the -50 range. We adjusted the hop penalty to a low value (we used 1 and 0) and we did see improvement with the hop selection but the throughput is very low due to an RSSI of -64 or less. Questions: 1) Is there a way to adjust BATMAN using batctl to select routes based on the RSSI value? a. That is, choose to hop through a node with an RSSI of -50 and never select a node that has a lower RSSI 2) Does the algorithm for route selection use RSSI in the calculation and if so can we modify the algorithm to increase the importance of RSSI in the selection? 3) How do we gain access to the code to make these modifications? a. Can you give me a little guidance on how to modify BATMAN-adv to suite my situation? Your help is greatly appreciated.
