Hi community,

consider the following wireless network:

A <-- 60Mbit --> B <-- 60Mbit --> C
A < ----------5Mbit-------------------> C

Node A can talk to Node C via Node B
Node A can talk to C directly, but with a significant lower throughput.
All links have a  relative low package loss.

I run into the problem that batman-adv sometimes routes traffic directly 
from Node A to C.
with gives me 5 Mbit throughput, and sometimes route A-B-C is chosen, 
resulting in 25 Mbit throughput.

I have adjusted the originator interval to 200 ms, and the hop penalty 
to 1 without significant improvements.

Are the other ways to force batman-adv to chose route A-B-C ?

Thanks,
Hannes
