First result in my favorite search engine for "linux network namespace":
http://blog.scottlowe.org/2013/09/04/introducing-linux-network-namespaces/
Extensively describes how to set up and use network namespaces with veth.
Have fun :-).

Hello,
@Linus, I am a bit new to this and haven't much exposure to compiling kernels and all. I will try out and see what I can do with it, but a little more explanation would help a lot.
"Then you connect the namespace via veth-pairs." Didn't get the namespace and making veth-pairs part.
Anyways, I'll be certain to see what I can do with the code itself.
Thanks and regards, Kaushik

Haven't tried that myself yet, but maybe the new network namespace support in the git master branch might be an easy alternative to start with?
You could first try to compile and load the batman-adv kernel module. Then you'd create a namespace for each virtual node you want to have. Then you connect the namespace via veth-pairs. And finally, within each network namespace you would hook some veth ends into a batX interface.
First you could try wiring two, then three nodes manually. If that works and looks good you could then write a script to setup the testbed with an arbitrary amount of virtual nodes.
