[B.A.T.M.A.N.] OGM overhead and routing metric proposal

Hi all, as promised, I have completed the analysis of the protocol overhead providing also simulation results with and whitout the OGM aggregation mechanism activated. As anticipated the results shows that aggregation works well in reducing the overhead. In attachment the report (OGMoverhead.pdf).

In attachment you will also find a draft/proposals of a new routing approach. It is based on the collection of more link parameters (the current TQ, bit-rate and node-load) to write in OGM at each hop. This permit to develop a more thorough metric and can open new room of improvement such multi-path routing.

Any comment/suggestion is welcome!

Regards.
