== B.A.T.M.A.N. ==

B.A.T.M.A.N. (better approach to mobile ad-hoc networking) is a routing protocol for multi-hop ad-hoc mesh networks. Most of the development now focuses on the open source implementation B.A.T.M.A.N. advanced (often referenced as batman-adv), an implementation of the B.A.T.M.A.N. routing protocol in form of a linux kernel module operating on layer 2.

== OLSR ==

OLSR.org is one of the oldest and still - of course - the best mesh routing protocol for community wireless networks ;-) 

On a more serious note: OLSR.org was the choice of protocols for most community wireless networks which started in the years 2002. Since then it has matured from a diploma thesis to a rock solid, highly portable link state mesh routing protocol. There are different variants of OLSR, some used by the military (NRL-OLSR and descendants) , some by academia (OLSR.org) and community wireless networks and of course - the [[https://commotionwireless.net/|commotion project]]. In the last years, the focus was on redesigning a lot of the internals, working on the OLSR v2 new protocol variant, and bug squashing for the stable version (OLSR v1 protocol). In every routing protocol, features are nice, but stability wins.
