you are absolutely right. The authors assume the batman protocol is based on
timeouts which leads to wrong results. Anyone interested to understand the
PURGE_TIMEOUT can consult our FAQ.
During the WBMv3 we studied a paper called "Routing protocols for mesh
networks with mobility support" which seems to have a similar content / same
authors (?) and contacted the authors to let them know about their wrong
assumption. Not sure in which manner these papers are related ...

Agreed.
Cheers,
