My experience is that OLSR does reuse the same channel all the time,
even if you put another cable with another route which is faster if you
put the routes by hand.

That's why I am trying to test Batman to see if it chooses the fastest
route in terms of throughput.

Aaron, if it works for you, I am interested to have your detailed
configuration.

Best,
