Hi all,
short self introduction: My name is Tobias and I am a member of Freifunk in Paderborn. Currently I am studying computer science at the university of Paderborn and I am going to finish my studies at the end of next summer term.
For this I have to work on a thesis and I after I had a few discussions with one of the professors and the other participants from our Freifunk group, I worked on a thesis description which is about a simulation of the Freifunk-Network in Paderborn with a focus on B.A.T.M.A.N..
The description is available here: http://www.ccs-labs.org/theses/MA-201410-Freifunk.pdf
We have more than 500 nodes in Paderborn which are using B.A.T.M.A.N. and we have a few problems here (see the document). The overall goal is to create a simulation using OMNet++ and do an evaluation of the results.
This E-Mail is just to inform You about this plan. The actual work will start in March/April.
BR Tobias

Hi Tobias
What could be interesting is modelling both BATMAN IV and BATMAN V. I expect you will find that BATMAN V has a lower overhead in large networks, compared to IV.

Sounds definitely interesting! Please bear in mind that the development of B.A.T.M.A.N. V has progressed to a point where it might be usable in test scenarios. As Andrew pointed out, you might want to spend some time on the current/new ideas as opposed to working on the old stuff.
Question regarding your 30GB of overhead estimation: Is Freifunk Paderborn running the same centralized server infrastructure with VPNs, etc to tunnel all batmn-adv traffic over the internet as other Freifunk communities do these days ?
Cheers, Marek

Yep, we have multiple "Gateways" which are used to compensate missing wifi connections between our nodes, but we also started to created some wifi backbone infrastructure... This is still an ongoing project
