I'm also wondering if label and gateway could have more meaningful names? TQ and host? Also, is TT the best?
Hm, that is a good question. We also have the batman v with new metrics coming up, I'm not sure how to handle these (maybe Antonio has some idea?). It is not the TQ-value in the label after all, but some kind of ETX-converted value (255/TQ if i remember correctly).
I think the ETX stuff comes from OLSR (but I don't know the details).
I agree with Simon that we should find a generic name (e.g. metric ?) but I am not sure we can represent this value in a "algorithm-generic" fashion (and maybe we don't want to).
May I suggest that the cjson output includes an entry to tell the version of the batman-algorithm?
Users might want to do different map overlays (or whatever) depending on the available metric(s).
