If this question is answered somewhere else, please forgive me; I spent this
morning looking through documentation, but not quite finding answers to what
I'm looking for.

I'm a roboticist.  My current project involves creating robots that are
mobile ad-hoc routers for a network.  The robots are supposed to
autonomously determine where to move to improve the
bandwidth/latency/reliability/etc. of a network.  In order for this to work,
each robot needs to have a rough approximation of the topology of the
network, so they can measure if their movements are improving or worsening
the network.  The topology information needs to include not just what the
network is currently like (which, from the documentation, appears to always
be a tree), but a complete graph, with measured information about the
bandwidth/latency/reliability of the links between pairs of nodes.  Is it
possible to get this information from batman-adv?

Thanks,
Cem Karan
