Hi,
I'm currently writing my Masterthesis (Performance of MANET
Protocols) and I want to write a little bit about BATMAN. Now I'm
running into some Problems, since it's not very well documented :(.
I got the informations from https://www.open-mesh.net/batman/
documentation/ and the man-page from last Newsletter and figured some
stuff about how to populate the routingtable.
But a few points are still missing and I would be happy on getting an
answer on them ;oP (Or is there an even better page to find some
informations on BATMAN?)
1. From open-mesh Docu: "Originators number their OGMs?, so other
nodes can decide whether they receive an originator-sequence-number
touple (OGSN) the first time or repeatedly"
What's the differens between in OGM and an OGSN? As far as I got to
know the protocol, there are just OGM-messages, aren't there?!?
2. Does a Node somehow send back a message (what message?) to the
originator of an OGM when ist first gets the message (so that the
originator also can populate his Routingtable) or does the originator
has to wait for the other nodes to send their OGM?
3. How can a node tell, that a route is broken? Is there some sort of
timeout in every entry in the routingtable or what?
4. How does the algorithm for the best neighbor work? (I dont need
details here, just what factors are taken for computing)
Thanks!
