[Olsr-users] [B.A.T.M.A.N.] A peer-reviewed assessment of OLSR, BATMAN and Babel

[L. Aaron Kaplan]

I would have liked to see a comparison with OLSR.org default settings  
(ETX metric) instead of
hopcount metric. As Henning already pointed out, hop count metric is  
not useful at all and was long abandoned.

Nobody in our freifunk/funkfeuer networks actually uses hopcount and  
therefore we could achieved mesh sizes of 1000+ nodes *in practice*  
with OLSR.
