Hi,

"works well" depends much on  your scenario.

I've seen many well-working networks with 100-300 nodes. There are Freifunk 
community networks with over 1000 nodes running batman-adv (i.e. "standard" 
users like laptops and smartphones), but they employ a lot of filtering to 
avoid too much broadcast.

Unless you have special restrictions like minimal broadcast traffic or high 
capacity on the wireless links, memory and CPU, I would not recommend to plan 
for 10 000 nodes and beyond.

Cheers,
     Simon
