Multi-path routing can provide robustness and load balancing to com- munication in wireless mesh networks (WMNs). We present a Linux implementa- tion of an existing multi-path routing scheme and evaluate it in our inhouse WMN testbed. In addition to our implementation, we describe the testbed where we per- formed evaluations regarding end-to-end delay and packet loss. Furthermore, we identify the limitations of the implemented protocol in a real-world scenario with interferences due to dense node placement as well as third-party networks and dis- cuss possible enhancements and general directions of research.
