Ø what do you mean ? You want to know where in the code batman handles multiple radio interfaces ?
Yes. I have just started going through the code so wondering how multiple interfaces are handled.
@Benjamin
At the Wireless Battle Mesh of Paris, the author of Babel wrote a
quick patch to add some cost to hop over the same wifi interface. Here is a summary: http://hackerspace.be/wbm2009#toc9
We are trying to service the internet access through a regular infrastructure mode via an access point connected to the wired interface on the node. Apart from that each node has 2 wireless interfaces that can be used to reduce intra hop interference. So wanted to know if BATMAN can take advantage of two radio on each node to improve throughput.
I tried Batman at the WBM to see if it was finding the fastest route in terms of bandwidth, and it was not doing it. So Batman will continue to hop on the same channel, even if another route is faster in terms of bandwidth.
