I too would like to see this benchmark setup. I have a private mesh that I've been using batman and olsr on that consists of about 8 nodes that end up spread out of about a 2000m x 2000m area and right now I'm only using one radio for the mesh. I'm pushing video from about 4 of these nodes and if I try to do more than 2 hops with the video I see drastic drops in the video performance.
I use Avila Gateworks boards that have 533 MHz Intel Xscale processors and I've never seen the cpu even close to taxed by batman, olsr, or the radios, as a point of reference for the original poster. They also have a newer board with a 633 Mhz cpu.
I would like to see some test of performance with mesh with 2 radios.
Hopping on the same radio as most freifunk network does is a disaster in terms of performance, because the radio is not full-duplex.
I have bought 12 foneras to make a test with 6 nodes (2 foneras per node), to see if OLSR chooses the fastest route in terms of throughput, and it does not. I have to try to play with LinkQualityMult on the ethernet link.
Does someone has an firmware image with batman for lafonera I can use with ap51?
