Implementations based on Open Source Software of these networks offer advantages for providing broadband networking communications in scenarios where cabling is too expensive or prohibitive such as rural environments. In this paper we evaluate the performance of small scale wireless mesh WMN routing protocols for WMNs: B.A.T.M.A.N. Advanced and the 802.11s standard. We also compare an OpenFlow controller implemented over the WMN, verifying their bandwidth, datagram loss and jitter. %B Open Source Software: Mobile Open Source Technologies %S IFIP Advances in Information and Communication Technology %I Springer Berlin Heidelberg %V 427 %P 107-110 %@ 978-3-642-55127-7 %U http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-55128-4_14 %R 10.1007/978-3-642-55128-4_14
