The receive socket size bytes, send socket size bytes and send message size bytes were set to the default values i.e 87380, 16384 and 16384 respectively. The command gave the CPU utilization of 5.84% on node C (sending node).
Meaning netperf tells you the CPU utilization or you get it from top / uptime / etc ? If so, why do you conclude this is the CPU load generated by batman- adv ? It seems to me you are measuring the CPU load generated by netperf not batman-adv.
You could disable/bypass batman-adv and repeat the test whilst using static routes. What is the CPU load you get then ? By comparing these 2 tests (one with batman-adv and one without) you could say something about the load generated by batman-adv.
