Hello Sven,
o Where are the advantages of BATMAN compared to OLSR? OLSR is standardized
by the IETF which is a great advantage compared to BATMAN. 20 byte IPv4
header respective 60 byte IPv6 header savings? Network protocol neutrality?
Where are the differences between BATMAN and 802.11s? Where are the
similarities? See commit 37c5798968d0ce4 of 802.11s
o Are there any publications which describe the protocol behavior in detail?
I assume it is a pro-active protocol - similar to standard BATMAN -
but what about neighbor discovery, TC, HNA and the like? What about multicast
transport? It is difficult to rate the patchset if no one knowns what the
intended behavior is.
o The major code is twisted about bookkeeping stuff, configuration aspects and
so on. The minor codebase is about protocol processing. What about a
generalized architecture and a userspace implementation of the protocol? And
communication via netlink sockets.
Cheers, Hagen
