[Battlemesh] Mesh Routing Protocol Comparison

[Dave Taht]

I keep hoping y'all will actually test networks like this under load,
rather than idle.

The flent rrul test is always a good start, and the rtt_fair tests in
particular, let you exercise multiple nodes on the network. Monitoring
convergence time under that kind of repeatable load, is quite
fascinating.

also you should update to babel 1.9.2 and fiddle with the unicast mode.

You can have even more fun with my infamous "rtod" tool (
https://github.com/dtaht/rtod ). If you are at all like me, it's
really exciting to see what happens when you put more than 1000+
routes on the network (mostly ipv6). I don't know what actually
happens with all these other routing protocols, but then again, I was
always the kind of kid that tossed lithium in water or aimed bottle
rockets at my friends...
