Hi, I would like to test babel protocol which is based on a distance vector routing protocol. In case of a wired network, e.g., RIP and OSPF, link state routing protocol is generally known to be better than the distance vectour routing one due to fast convergence and loop-free property. In a wireless network, AODV and DSR has been working better than DSDV based on the distance vector one.
In addition, I also reviewed a paper which compared with various metrics such as babel, batman, and olsr. Babel and batman outperformed olsr. Incredible. Seemed to be very interesting. That's why I want to test it. In general, for running manet's routing protocols, each wireless system has to be set to an ad-hoc mode instead of AP or STA. In case of babel, all of the wireless system has to be set to ad-hoc mode in a mandatory manner? Unlike links between AP and STA, some wlan chipset working as ad-hoc mode has not supported full throughput due to some firmware errors. In a worst case, each wireless system cannot join the same cell infrequently. That' why I want to avoid using ad-hoc mode due to the existence of unpredictable characteristics. Instead of using an ad-hoc mode between wireless systems, can I still use the babel between AP and STA (Client), on which the babel is running separately? Would you please give me some comments on this idea? -- Myongsu
