I found a high TX and (very) low RX unrealistic.

But there was another suggestion to use the "success" rate (1-retransmits or errors) that sounds like a better idea. I would suggest to disregard RX.

Right, retransmission rate or error rate might be helpful to add. A number of questions still need to be answered:

* Is this information exported by Wifi drivers like ath9k/ath10k/others ? * How is this information factored into the equation ? * How does the result compare to the actual throughput ?

Especially the last point is somewhat crucial simply because in a mesh network with a healthy mix of devices & drivers all these various sources of throughput data need to be comparable. Picture a situation in which batman-adv needs to choose a route involving Ethernet throughput / manual throughput / expected throughput / bitrate throughput.
