Wireless Leiden endorses the Battle of the Mesh v6
The "Wireless Battle of the Mesh" is an event that aims to bring together people from across the globe to test the performance of different routing protocols for ad-hoc networks, like Babel, B.A.T.M.A.N., BMX, OLSR, and 802.11s. Of course, new protocols (working on OpenWRT) are always welcome!
This year the event will take place from Monday 15th till Sunday 21st of April at the University of Aalborg, Denmark.
