I believe these results (which was from about that many machines and there
were some good data being presented and crunched) were using multiple
channels and diversity routing, which in the b.a.t.m.a.n world
is called "interface alternating"

As I recall OLPC now has two radios?

The distributed arp table landed in the mainline linux kernel fairly

(in fact most of batman-adv is in the kernel nowadays)
