“… The overhead of OLSR is higher than BATMAN, [11] confirms it. [12] shows larger throughput difference between OLSR and BATMAN whereas [13] suggest that OLSR and BATMAN are similar. Theoritical studies say that BATMAN outperforms OLSR on almost all performance metrics due to simplistic approach as we discussed.…”

Abstract-Routing is a fundamental characteristic of Wireless Mesh Network (WMN). The strengths and weakness of routing protocols are reflected directly in WMN's characteristics. Several advantages of WMNs over competing technologies are directly enable by the routing protocols. WMNs require routing protocols that provide flexibility to work with different topologies, low latency for route (re-) discovery, low control traffic overhead, scalability with respect to mobility and network dimension, mobile user support, efficient handover, QoS support, multicast which is important for emergency response cases and more desirable one -multipaths. In this paper, a survey on some of the relevant routing protocols for WMNs, their behavior, and comparison is presented.

“…First was the choice of ad hoc network routing protocol to modify. Although OLSR is an Internet standard, several papers have suggested thats its performance in practical trials is less than desired [6], [7]. Of the other protocols tested, it appears that BATMAN provided the best overall performance.…”

“…The distances between nodes (MPs) are increased or reduced by interference and local conditions [15,16]. Interference necessitated the use of nanostations to punch through the interference for even quite short links, often substantially less than 500 m. This is due to the omni-directional antennas being able to receive interfering signals.…”

VoIP (Voice over IP) over mesh networks could be a potential solution to the high cost of making phone calls in most parts of Africa. The Village Telco (VT) is an easy to use and scalable VoIP over meshed WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) telephone infrastructure. It uses a mesh network of mesh potatoes to form a peer-to-peer network to relay telephone calls without landlines or cell phone towers. This paper discusses the Village Telco infrastructure, how it addresses the numerous difficulties associated with wireless mesh networks, and its efficient deployment for VoIP services in some communities around the globe. The paper also presents the architecture and functions of a mesh potato and a novel combined analog telephone adapter (ATA) and WiFi access point that routes calls. Lastly, the paper presents the results of preliminary tests that have been conducted on a mesh potato. The preliminary results indicate very good performance and user acceptance of the mesh potatoes. The results proved that the infrastructure is deployable in severe and under-resourced environments as a means to make cheap phone calls and render Internet and IP-based services. As a result, the VT project contributes to bridging the digital divide in developing areas.
