Hi all,

short self introduction:
My name is Tobias and I am a member of Freifunk in Paderborn. Currently
I am studying computer science at the university of Paderborn and I am
going to finish my studies at the end of next summer term.

For this I have to work on a thesis and I after I had a few discussions
with one of the professors and the other participants from our Freifunk
group, I worked on a thesis description which is about a simulation of
the Freifunk-Network in Paderborn with a focus on B.A.T.M.A.N..

The description is available here:
http://www.ccs-labs.org/theses/MA-201410-Freifunk.pdf

We have more than 500 nodes in Paderborn which are using B.A.T.M.A.N.
and we have a few problems here (see the document).
The overall goal is to create a simulation using OMNet++ and do an
evaluation of the results.

This E-Mail is just to inform You about this plan. The actual work will
start in March/April.

BR
Tobias

Hi Tobias

What could be interesting is modelling both BATMAN IV and BATMAN V.  I
expect you will find that BATMAN V has a lower overhead in large
networks, compared to IV.

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

Yep, we have multiple "Gateways" which are used to compensate missing
wifi connections between our nodes, but we also started to created some
wifi backbone infrastructure... This is still an ongoing project
