Antonio,

I am planning to start programming Ubiquiti and TP-Link Routers in two =
weeks for a very large BATMAN mesh deployment.

Although many patches I have seen on this list involves multicast =
traffic I have seen some others. =20

Is the current OpenWrt release stable enough for deployment or are there =
some "must have" patches requiring a build from scratch for a successful =
deployment?
