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.

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.

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.

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.

|
|
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.

|
|
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 kernel log. The
|
|
output is controlled via the module parameter debug.
