Performance analysis for a wireless mesh network test-bed using HWMP and BATMAN-Adv routing

Over the past twenty years, wireless networks have been evolving to give continuity to the exponential demand for information that users require. This has allowed the development of multiple network infrastructures that offers new ways of establishing communication that improve the standard protocols. The Wireless Mesh Network (WMN) arise from this context of development and bring with it great advantages due to its mesh topology that results in an easy implementation, flexibility, self-forming, and adaptability in different scenarios. In this paper, we perform an analysis of Latency, Jitter, Throughput, and Bandwidth parameters, which provides enough information to establish a criterion over the performance of a WMN implemented in two different scenarios, with two different routing protocols, Hybrid Wireless Mesh Protocol (HWMP) of IEEE 802.11s standard and Better Approach to Mobile Ad Hoc Networking Advanced (BATMAN-Adv). As well as we evaluate performance of Video Streaming apps, Video Conferencing and VoIP calls within the network in order to evidence the efficiency of WMN.
