Sounds definitely interesting! Please bear in mind that the development of 
B.A.T.M.A.N. V has progressed to a point where it might be usable in test 
scenarios. As Andrew pointed out, you might want to spend some time on the 
current/new ideas as opposed to working on the old stuff.

Question regarding your 30GB of overhead estimation: Is Freifunk Paderborn 
running the same centralized server infrastructure with VPNs, etc to tunnel 
all batmn-adv traffic over the internet as other Freifunk communities do these 
days ?

Cheers,
Marek
