I'm trying to test how much bandwidth is left after multi-hops using dual-radio as the backbone(interface alternating), I have a few nodes and want to force them cascaded, is there a way to set up 'static hop route' somehow so the nodes will not take a short-cut, the nodes are all close-by.

Basically I want to have A->B->C->D->E and avoid A->E or something alike.

You could remove the external antennas (if any) to reduce the signal strength. That is much easier than a software solution. Alternatively you can use ebtables to block unwanted OGMs. Linus might be of help here.
