B.A.T.M.A.N. (better approach to mobile ad-hoc networking) is
a routing protocol for multi-hop ad-hoc mesh networks. The
networks may be wired or wireless. See
https://www.open-mesh.org/ for more information and user space
tools.
batman-adv: ELP - adding basic infrastructure The B.A.T.M.A.N. protocol originally only used a single message type (called OGM) to determine the link qualities to the direct neighbors and spreading these link quality information through the whole mesh. This procedure is summarized on the BATMAN concept page and explained in details in the RFC draft published in 2008. This approach was chosen for its simplicity during the protocol design phase and the implementation. However, it also bears some drawbacks: * Wireless interfaces usually come with some packet loss, therefore a higher broadcast rate is desirable to allow a fast reaction on flaky connections. Other interfaces of the same host might be connected to Ethernet LANs / VPNs / etc which rarely exhibit packet loss would benefit from a lower broadcast rate to reduce overhead. * It generally is more desirable to detect local link quality changes at a faster rate than propagating all these changes through the entire mesh (the far end of the mesh does not need to care about local link quality changes that much). Other optimizations strategies, like reducing overhead, might be possible if OGMs weren't used for all tasks in the mesh at the same time. As a result detecting local link qualities shall be handled by an independent message type, ELP, whereas the OGM message type remains responsible for flooding the mesh with these link quality information and determining the overall path transmit qualities.

help
This option enables the B.A.T.M.A.N. V protocol, the successor
of the currently used B.A.T.M.A.N. IV protocol. The main
changes include splitting of the OGM protocol into a neighbor
discovery protocol (Echo Location Protocol, ELP) and a new OGM
Protocol OGMv2 for flooding protocol information through the
network, as well as a throughput based metric.
B.A.T.M.A.N. V is currently considered experimental and not
compatible to B.A.T.M.A.N. IV networks.

select CRC16
default y
help
This option enables BLA (Bridge Loop Avoidance), a mechanism
to avoid Ethernet frames looping when mesh nodes are connected
to both the same LAN and the same mesh. If you will never use
more than one mesh node in the same LAN, you can safely remove
this feature and save some space.
config BATMAN_ADV_DAT

help
This option enables DAT (Distributed ARP Table), a DHT based
mechanism that increases ARP reliability on sparse wireless
mesh networks. If you think that your network does not need
this option you can safely remove it and save some space.
batman-adv: network coding - add the initial infrastructure code Network coding exploits the 802.11 shared medium to allow multiple packets to be sent in a single transmission. In brief, a relay can XOR two packets, and send the coded packet to two destinations. The receivers can decode one of the original packets by XOR'ing the coded packet with the other original packet. This will lead to increased throughput in topologies where two packets cross one relay. In a simple topology with three nodes, it takes four transmissions without network coding to get one packet from Node A to Node B and one from Node B to Node A: 1. Node A ---- p1 ---> Node R Node B 2. Node A Node R <--- p2 ---- Node B 3. Node A <--- p2 ---- Node R Node B 4. Node A Node R ---- p1 ---> Node B With network coding, the relay only needs one transmission, which saves us one slot of valuable airtime: 1. Node A ---- p1 ---> Node R Node B 2. Node A Node R <--- p2 ---- Node B 3. Node A <- p1 x p2 - Node R - p1 x p2 -> Node B The same principle holds for a topology including five nodes. Here the packets from Node A and Node B are overheard by Node C and Node D, respectively. This allows Node R to send a network coded packet to save one transmission: Node A Node B | \ / | | p1 p2 | | \ / | p1 > Node R < p2 | | | / \ | | p1 x p2 p1 x p2 | v / \ v / \ Node C < > Node D More information is available on the open-mesh.org wiki[1]. This patch adds the initial code to support network coding in batman-adv. It sets up a worker thread to do house keeping and adds a sysfs file to enable/disable network coding. The feature is disabled by default, as it requires a wifi-driver with working promiscuous mode, and also because it adds a small delay at each hop.

bool "Network Coding"
depends on BATMAN_ADV
help
This option enables network coding, a mechanism that aims to
increase the overall network throughput by fusing multiple
packets in one transmission.
Note that interfaces controlled by batman-adv must be manually
configured to have promiscuous mode enabled in order to make
network coding work.
If you think that your network does not need this feature you
can safely disable it and save some space.

Enable this to export routing related debug tables via debugfs.

This is an option for use by developers; most people should
say N here. This enables compilation of support for
outputting debugging information to the debugfs log or tracing
buffer. The output is controlled via the batadv netdev specific
log_level setting.
batman-adv: Provide debug messages as trace events A private debug logging infrastructure is currently provided via $debug_fs/batman_adv/*/log when CONFIG_BATMAN_ADV_DEBUG is enabled. This is not well integrated in the rest of the tracing infrastructure of the kernel. Other components (like mac80211 or ath10k) allow to gather the debug messages using generic trace events which are better integrated. This makes it possible to interact with them using the existing userspace tools. The tracepoint batadv:batadv_dbg will now be available when CONFIG_BATMAN_ADV_DEBUG and CONFIG_BATMAN_ADV_TRACING is activated. The log level mask is still used for filtering as usual. A full system trace for offline parsing can be created (and read) using: $ batctl ll all $ trace-cmd record -e batadv:batadv_dbg $ trace-cmd report The same can also be done without recording to a file $ batctl ll all $ trace-cmd stream -e batadv:batadv_dbg The trace infrastructure is especially helpful when tracing processes: $ batctl ll all $ ./tools/perf/perf trace --event "batadv:*" batctl p 10.204.32.1 0.000 batadv:batadv_dbg:batman_adv bat0 Parsing outgoing ARP REQUEST 0.045 batadv:batadv_dbg:batman_adv bat0 ARP MSG = [src: a2:64:14:53:f8:22-10.204.32.185 dst: 00:00:00:00:00:00-10.204.32.1] 0.067 batadv:batadv_dbg:batman_adv bat0 Entry updated: 10.204.32.185 a2:64:14:53:f8:22 (vid: -1) 0.099 batadv:batadv_dbg:batman_adv bat0 batadv_dat_select_candidates(): IP=10.204.32.1 hash(IP)=48902 0.757 batadv:batadv_dbg:batman_adv bat0 dat_select_candidates() 0: selected fe:2c:91:68:29:2b addr=48977 dist=65460 1.178 batadv:batadv_dbg:batman_adv bat0 dat_select_candidates() 1: selected fe:81:ab:c5:e3:03 addr=49181 dist=65256 1.809 batadv:batadv_dbg:batman_adv bat0 dat_select_candidates() 2: selected 66:25:a7:48:37:fb addr=49328 dist=65109 1.828 batadv:batadv_dbg:batman_adv bat0 DHT_SEND for 10.204.32.1 Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org> Signed-off-by: Simon Wunderlich <sw@simonwunderlich.de>
