    batman-adv: increase default hop penalty · e03366ea
    Simon Wunderlich 提交于
    The default hop penalty is currently set to 15, which is applied like
    that for multi interface devices (e.g. dual band APs). Single band
    devices will still use an effective penalty of 30 (hop penalty + wifi
    penalty).
    
    After receiving reports of too long paths in mesh networks with dual
    band APs which were fixed by increasing the hop penalty, we'd like to
    suggest to increase that default value in the default setting as well.
    We've evaluated that increase in a handful of medium sized mesh
    networks (5-20 nodes) with single and dual band devices, with changes
    for the better (shorter routes, higher throughput) or no change at all.
    
    This patch changes the hop penalty to 30, which will give an effective
    penalty of 60 on single band devices (hop penalty + wifi penalty).
