However the interaction of Quagga with the mesh network will be "batman-adv-agnostic" since there is no way to exchange information between the two. The creation of a batman-adv plugin for Quagga could help in this direction by letting Quagga extract TQ (the metric used by batman-adv) information to compute link qualities towards other border nodes in the mesh network. This would avoid the IP routing protocol to choose bad mesh nodes as next hop in the IP routing. As extracting/using TQ in other protocols is just an idea/proposal right now, please contact us if you want to do that.
