Hello,

I try to research some possibilities to implement multipath-routing (MPR) to BATMAN Advanced. There are two different ways: 1. one-channel-MPR and 2. multi-channel-MPR. To the first: The idea is to use two paths through the mesh and to avoid crossed. I have build a simple model to show that it make sense. The model shows that it can take 67% of the time that needs BATMAN with a single path. I still implemented it into userspace of revision 1060. The next step is to proof, that it works...or that it doesn't work...!

To the second: The idea is the use of multi paths with multi interfaces. Packets can be transmitted over two different ways without any interference problems. At the moment I'm analyzing the problems and the requirements for this.

The better way is of course the second one. The advantage of using one channel is that there is just one wireless interface needed.
