the number gives information about the link quality as batman measures it.
1.00 means 100% link quality, 2.00 means 50%, etc. Basically the idea is that
the number tells you how many packets you need to send in order to get a
single successful transmission. HNA are announced networks which do not run
batman.

The criteria for a good / bad / regular / etc link is rather subjective and
depends on your demands. Do you need high throughput or just a few bytes per
week ? A live video stream over a link which looses more than 50% of the
packets requires quite some patience. ;-)
