batman-adv: Add throughput_override hardif genl configuration

2019-02-09T13:28:15+00:00

The B.A.T.M.A.N. V implementation tries to estimate the link throughput of
an interface to an originator using different automatic methods. It is
still possible to overwrite it the link throughput for all reachable
originators via this interface.

The BATADV_CMD_SET_HARDIF/BATADV_CMD_GET_HARDIF commands allow to set/get
the configuration of this feature using the u32
BATADV_ATTR_THROUGHPUT_OVERRIDE attribute. The used unit is in 100 Kbit/s.
If the value is set to 0 then batman-adv will try to estimate the
throughput by itself.

batman-adv: Add elp_interval hardif genl configuration

2019-02-09T13:28:15+00:00

The ELP packets are transmitted every elp_interval milliseconds on an
slave/hard-interface. This value can be changed using the configuration
interface.

The BATADV_CMD_SET_HARDIF/BATADV_CMD_GET_HARDIF commands allow to set/get
the configuration of this feature using the u32 BATADV_ATTR_ELP_INTERVAL
attribute.

batman-adv: Add orig_interval mesh genl configuration

2019-02-09T13:28:15+00:00

The OGM packets are transmitted every orig_interval milliseconds. This
value can be changed using the configuration interface.

The BATADV_CMD_SET_MESH/BATADV_CMD_GET_MESH commands allow to set/get the
configuration of this feature using the u32 BATADV_ATTR_ORIG_INTERVAL
attribute.

batman-adv: Add network_coding mesh genl configuration

2019-02-09T13:28:15+00:00

The mesh interface can use (in an homogeneous mesh) network coding, a
mechanism that aims to increase the overall network throughput by fusing
multiple packets in one transmission.

The BATADV_CMD_SET_MESH/BATADV_CMD_GET_MESH commands allow to set/get the
configuration of this feature using the BATADV_ATTR_NETWORK_CODING_ENABLED
attribute. Setting the u8 to zero will disable this feature and setting it
to something else is enabling this feature.

batman-adv: Add multicast forceflood mesh genl configuration

2019-02-09T13:28:14+00:00

The mesh interface can optimize the flooding of multicast packets based on
the content of the global translation tables. To disable this behavior and
use the broadcast-like flooding of the packets, forceflood has to be
enabled.

The BATADV_CMD_SET_MESH/BATADV_CMD_GET_MESH commands allow to set/get the
configuration of this feature using the
BATADV_ATTR_MULTICAST_FORCEFLOOD_ENABLED attribute. Setting the u8 to zero
will disable this feature (allowing multicast optimizations) and setting it
to something else is enabling this feature (forcing simple flooding).

batman-adv: Add log_level mesh genl configuration

2019-02-09T13:28:14+00:00

In contrast to other modules, batman-adv allows to set the debug message
verbosity per mesh/soft-interface and not per module (via modparam).

The BATADV_CMD_SET_MESH/BATADV_CMD_GET_MESH commands allow to set/get the
configuration of this feature using the u32 (bitmask) BATADV_ATTR_LOG_LEVEL
attribute.

batman-adv: Add hop_penalty mesh genl configuration

2019-02-09T13:28:14+00:00

The TQ (B.A.T.M.A.N. IV) and throughput values (B.A.T.M.A.N. V) are reduced
when they are forwarded. One of the reductions is the penalty for
traversing an additional hop. This hop_penalty (0-255) defines the
percentage of reduction (0-100%).

The BATADV_CMD_SET_MESH/BATADV_CMD_GET_MESH commands allow to set/get the
configuration of this feature using the u8 BATADV_ATTR_HOP_PENALTY
attribute.

batman-adv: Add gateway mesh genl configuration

2019-02-09T13:28:14+00:00

The mesh/soft-interface can optimize the handling of DHCP packets. Instead
of flooding them through the whole mesh, it can be forwarded as unicast to
a specific gateway server. The originator which injects the packets in the
mesh has to select (based on sel_class thresholds) a responsible gateway
server. This is done by switching this originator to the gw_mode client.
The servers announce their forwarding bandwidth (download/upload) when the
gw_mode server was selected.

The BATADV_CMD_SET_MESH/BATADV_CMD_GET_MESH commands allow to set/get the
configuration of this feature using the attributes:

* u8 BATADV_ATTR_GW_MODE (0 == off, 1 == client, 2 == server)
* u32 BATADV_ATTR_GW_BANDWIDTH_DOWN (in 100 kbit/s steps)
* u32 BATADV_ATTR_GW_BANDWIDTH_UP (in 100 kbit/s steps)
* u32 BATADV_ATTR_GW_SEL_CLASS

batman-adv: Add fragmentation mesh genl configuration

2019-02-09T13:28:14+00:00

The mesh interface can fragment unicast packets when the packet size
exceeds the outgoing slave/hard-interface MTU.

The BATADV_CMD_SET_MESH/BATADV_CMD_GET_MESH commands allow to set/get the
configuration of this feature using the BATADV_ATTR_FRAGMENTATION_ENABLED
attribute. Setting the u8 to zero will disable this feature and setting it
to something else is enabling this feature.

batman-adv: Add distributed_arp_table mesh genl configuration

2019-02-09T13:28:14+00:00

The mesh interface can use a distributed hash table to answer ARP requests
without flooding the request through the whole mesh.

The BATADV_CMD_SET_MESH/BATADV_CMD_GET_MESH commands allow to set/get the
configuration of this feature using the
BATADV_ATTR_DISTRIBUTED_ARP_TABLE_ENABLED attribute. Setting the u8 to zero
will disable this feature and setting it to something else is enabling this
feature.
