Hello,
I have a 3 node mesh network with layout as follows:
node #1 node #2 node #3 192.168.2.1 192.168.2.5 192.168.2.9
Each node has only one radio and #1 talks to #3 via #2 and vice versa. If I want to improve the throughput between #1 and #3, logically I would add another radio to #2 so it can communicate to both #1 and #3 simultaneously w/o having the single radio switching back and forth between #1 and #3.
However, I ran IPERF between #1 and #3 before and after adding the second radio to node #2 and the bandwidth didn't really improve. In my node #2 configuration, I did not bridge the two wifi interfaces so I have ath0 and ath1 with their own IP addresses. All three nodes are configured with the same channel. My batmand command line for node #2 is: batmand ath0 ath1.
Can anyone advise me on what I did wrong?
Thanks, Shane
