With this patch we are finally able to support multicast optimizations in bridged setups, too. So far, if a bridge was added on top of a soft-interface (e.g. bat0) the batman-adv multicast optimizations needed to be disabled to avoid packetloss. Current Linux bridge implementations and API can now provide us with the so far missing information about interested but "remote" multicast receivers behind bridge ports. The Linux bridge performs the detection of remote participants interested in multicast packets with its own and mature so called IGMP and MLD snooping code and stores that in its database. With the new API provided by the bridge batman-adv can now simply hook into this database. We then reliably announce the gathered multicast listeners to other nodes through the batman-adv translation table. Additionally, the Linux bridge provides us with the information about whether an IGMP/MLD querier exists. If there is none then we need to disable multicast optimizations as we cannot learn about multicast listeners on external, bridged-in host then.

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

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.

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.

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.

This is an option for use by developers; most people should

outputting debugging information to the kernel log. The

output is controlled via the module parameter debug.
