batman-adv: remove vis functionality

2013-10-09T19:22:32+00:00

This is replaced by a userspace program, we don't need this
functionality to bloat the kernel.

batman-adv: Distributed ARP Table - add a new debug log level

2012-11-07T19:00:18+00:00

A new log level has been added to concentrate messages regarding DAT: ARP
snooping, requests, response and DHT related messages.
The new log level is named BATADV_DBG_DAT

batman-adv: Add the backbone gateway list to debugfs

2012-08-23T12:02:41+00:00

This is especially useful if there are no claims yet, but we still want
to know which gateways are using bridge loop avoidance in the network.

batman-adv: Add get_ethtool_stats() support

2012-06-18T16:00:58+00:00

Added additional counters in a bat_stats structure, which are exported
through the ethtool api. The counters are specific to batman-adv and
includes:
 forwarded packets and bytes
 management packets and bytes (aggregated OGMs at this point)
 translation table packets

New counters are added by extending "enum bat_counters" in types.h and
adding corresponding  descriptive string(s) to bat_counters_strings in
soft-iface.c.

Counters are increased by calling batadv_add_counter() and incremented
by one by calling batadv_inc_counter().

batman-adv: README cleanups

2012-05-14T06:50:22+00:00

- Add routing_algo

- Remove date from README:
The date has to be updated when a patch touches the README. Therefore, nearly
every feature will modify this date. It can happens quite often that not only
one feature is currently in development or waiting on the mailinglist. This
creates merge conflicts when applying a patchset.

The date itself doesn't provide any additional information when this file is
only available in a release tarball or as part of a SCM repository.

batman-adv: add basic bridge loop avoidance code

2012-04-11T12:28:58+00:00

This second version of the bridge loop avoidance for batman-adv
avoids loops between the mesh and a backbone (usually a LAN).

By connecting multiple batman-adv mesh nodes to the same ethernet
segment a loop can be created when the soft-interface is bridged
into that ethernet segment. A simple visualization of the loop
involving the most common case - a LAN as ethernet segment:

node1  <-- LAN  -->  node2
  |                   |
wifi   <-- mesh -->  wifi

Packets from the LAN (e.g. ARP broadcasts) will circle forever from
node1 or node2 over the mesh back into the LAN.

With this patch, batman recognizes backbone gateways, nodes which are
part of the mesh and backbone/LAN at the same time. Each backbone
gateway "claims" clients from within the mesh to handle them
exclusively. By restricting that only responsible backbone gateways
may handle their claimed clients traffic, loops are effectively
avoided.
