Hi Antonio, Thanks for the reply. I will attempt these tests today and provide you as much feedback as possible. We are using loop avoidance because in some (if not all) installations we will be doing there will be multiple AP wired to the same network to provide redundancy. And if we

Re: [B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH] batman-adv: encourage batman to take shorter routes by changing the default hop penalty

Hi Andrew, Do you have any performance analysis to show this is really helpful and not harmful? I've seen indoor results where i had to reduce the hop penalty, otherwise BATMAN was taking a short path which worked badly. By reducing the hop penalty, so encouraging it to take more hops, i

Re: [B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH] batman-adv: encourage batman to take shorter routes by changing the default hop penalty

So, you had to reduce the default value of 10 to something even smaller ? A hop penalty of 10 results in a penatly of 4% per hop. A rough equivalent of 2 lost packets (62/64). Does not sound very much to me. Can you explain your test setup a little more ? These observations come from a
