The percentage values I have stated are already normalized to 800 Mhz for simplicity. For example in node B (cpu 1000 Mhz) has CPU usage 1%, I use 1% of 1000 which is 10 and now (10/800) is 1.25%. I have thus used 1.25% instead of 1%.
You assume that there is a direct linear correlation between processing power and Hz of different CPUs... this is just wrong.
I don't still get why the cpu load generated by batman-adv for 2-hop case is so high (1.865% when I was expectiong 0.46% as described in previous email).
There are many factors. Driver overhead related to collision avoidance (or retransmissions), ebtables (now there are a lot of packets to drop), ...?
Or we could say: you're setup is not suitable for that kind of test.
