[Battlemesh] How many nodes?

[demos]

Dear battlemeshers,

if there is one that might know about it, he can be found here.
We want to built a testing network such as battlemesh but for a longer
time. We also want to do performance testing, but later we also want to
do pentesting of encrypted traffic.
How many nodes would you recommend to deploy at least/at best for a
realistic simulation?

Kind regards
Demos
