Hello again,

I've fixed a bug in zebra client route update which tried to delete 
routes with the new metric instead of the previously installed.

I've also tried to calculate a metric based on link quality. Unfortunately, I 
wasn't able to find a way to compare latency between two different 
originators. Originators could only be compared based on packet loss which 
isn't what we want because it would lead to having the same metric (1) for 
all nodes if there isn't some packet loss present. So, we are staying for the 
moment with the TTL approach with some adjustment to make it safer with 
different TTL settings.

I also want to point out an issue with batmand host routes and Quagga. 
Although Quagga succesfully installs host routes, it doesn't treat them as 
valid gateways if the associated interface isn't flaged as P-t-P. I don't 
know if this is a bug or a feature but it renders all batmand second level 
routes inactive. I added a workaround in zebra client which disables host 
route installation. This means that you can use quagga zebra client only if 
you have standard broadcast subnets.

The attached patch is against latest stable BATMAN release (revsion 502).

Vasilis
