Re: [B.A.T.M.A.N.] [Olsr-users] A peer-reviewed assessment of OLSR, BATMAN and Babel

I would have liked to see a comparison with OLSR.org default settings (ETX metric) instead of hopcount metric.

Agreed.

Note however that this doesn't entirely explain why OLSR collapsed in their tests. If you look at table I, you'll notice that in the case of node Babel did choose the shortest hop-count route, and Babel and OLSR exhibited similar levels of route flapping; in other words, in this particular test ETX and shortest-hop coincide. However, Figure 2 indicates that OLSR's throughput was half that of Babel, and in Figure 3, OLSR's packet delivery ratio was just 75%.
