By BATMAN, do you mean something like Freifunk? We don't need a routing algorithm when people use nostr:nprofile1qqspp9hkhc9y6lcwesklfmfvs6plzsl0eq0whglvumd2m5hu5ax8anqprpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezucmgv95k6cfwd9hxvme0qyt8wumn8ghj7mmjv9hxwetn09hxxtn5v43kstcpr3mhxue69uhkymmnw3ezummjv9hxwetn09hxxtn5v43kstcsa3stq. Each TollGate operator (Cobrador) sets his own business model based on market conditions and traffic reaches a gateway accordingly.

You get a mesh network when TollGates resell connections from other TollGates..
Yes what they use Batman-adv. This would save you form having to reinvent it. Could be something like freefunk, but "profitable" https://www.open-mesh.org/projects/batman-adv/wiki/BATMAN_IV
One nice thing about TollGate is that you don't need a routing algorithm. Whether your traffic flows through my gateway or not depends on my pricing algorithm and your willingness to pay the price. I need to undercut existing ISPs to get your traffic and others can undercut me if they see an opportunity.
Good point
