Hi Zio Proto,

the memory needed in fact is at least 64Mb (hopefully that will be reduced in the future...).

Are there any wireless access point which meet such requirement? Let me know; 

If we have some such nodes available I may come in Thurday or Friday to do some measurements on the testbed. 
This is what I have in mind so far:
1) define some nodes as senders and some nodes as receivers
2) define a flow between each couple of senders and receivers
3) calculate the aggregate throughput of the network

In a second scenario, during the traffic generation, some nodes belonging to the backbone could be shutdown, so as to see how the routing algorithms react to path failures (we consider the aggregate throughput in this scenario as well).

The measurements can be done for each routing algorithm in a round robin fashion (and the entire procedure can be repeated N times to try to average from external interferences).

Let me know if you find these measurements interesting or what we can do instead...

Thanks,
Giovanni
