I'm just throwing the idea out, in case it catches the eye of someone who's looking for an interesting project. In the ideal world, I'd say BSD-licensed reimplementation, but I certainly won't get picky. It does have some documentation (e.g. http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-wunderlich-openmesh-manet-routing-00 , http://www.open-mesh.org/wiki/batman-adv/Doc-overview). > Are there any reasons to choose B.A.T.M.A.N. instead of bmx or babel? ... or > OLSR? ... or HSLS? I've seen BATMAN work at a local Linux club meeting, and I was pretty much impressed by how easy it is to setup. I don't know about the other protocols you listed, but BATMAN is in the stock Linux kernel, making it a practical choice. I might be wrong but it seems to me that it, contrasted to 802.11s, requires no special support from the wifi driver side, making it easier to implement. Other than that, no, I know far too little about all of them to have a preference.
