Hi all, A colleague of mine is building a batman-adv mesh network in an apartment building with essentially one node per apartment. Not surprisingly, results in a very dense mesh with each node having a large number of neighbours. Here is a typical batctl o output http://pastebin.com/aAR43hj7 This results in some fairly slow connections.
I am seeking some general advice on how to optimise batman-adv in the context of a dense mesh. Options that we have considered include turning the radio transmit power down on all of the devices and/or alternating channels on different floors (e.g. 1,6,11,1,6,11,etc). However, it is not clear to us what is the best strategy in this context. Grateful for any tips or suggestions you may have. Thanks in advance....
