Routing
- babled - Babel is a loop-avoiding distance-vector routing protocol for IPv6 and IPv4 with fast convergence properties. It is based on the ideas in DSDV, AODV and Cisco's EIGRP, but is designed to work well not only in wired networks but also in wireless mesh networks, and has been extended with support for overlay networks. [Source Code](https://github.com/jech/babeld) `MIT` `C`
- batman-adv - Batman advanced is a new approach to wireless networking which does no longer operate on the IP basis. [Source Code](https://www.open-mesh.org/projects/open-mesh/wiki/Download) `GPLv2` `C`
- OLSR - The Optimized Link State Routing Protocol (OLSR) is an IP routing protocol optimized for mobile ad hoc networks, which can also be used on other wireless ad hoc networks. [Source Code](https://github.com/OLSR/OONF) `BSD` `C`
- GNUnet - A mesh routing layer for end-to-end encrypted networking and a framework for distributed applications designed to replace the old insecure Internet protocol stack. [Source Code](https://gnunet.org/git/) `GPLv3` `Java` (Various)
