thanks for submitting your work. I published it on our website so that others can find it: https://www.open-mesh.net/batman/patches By the way: Using the TTL as basis for a hop metric is ambiguous and may lead to errors. By doing so you assume that every host uses the same start TTL and every hop decreases it in the same way. The B.A.T.M.A.N. protocol does not demand or enforce this behaviour. On the other hand the hop count does not reflect the quality of a path. May be it would be a better approach to calculate the link quality into the metric so that hop based protocols can do a better decission. Regards, Marek
