2011-12-07batman-adv: delete global entry in case of roamingAntonio Quartulli
When receiving a DEL change for a client due to a roaming event (change is marked with TT_CLIENT_ROAM), each node has to check if the client roamed to itself or somewhere else. In the latter case the global entry is kept to avoid having no route at all otherwise we can safely delete the global entry Signed-off-by: Antonio Quartulli <ordex@autistici.org>
2011-12-07batman-adv: in case of roaming mark the client with TT_CLIENT_ROAMAntonio Quartulli
In case of a client roaming from node A to node B, the latter have to mark the corresponding global entry with TT_CLIENT_ROAM (instead of TT_CLIENT_PENDING). Marking a global entry with TT_CLIENT_PENDING will end up in keeping such entry forever (because this flag is only meant to be used with local entries and it is never checked on global ones). In the worst case (all the clients roaming to the same node A) the local and the global table will contain exactly the same clients. Batman-adv will continue to work, but the memory usage is duplicated. Signed-off-by: Antonio Quartulli <ordex@autistici.org>

2011-10-25batman-adv: unify hash_entry field position in tt_local/global_entryAntonio Quartulli
Function tt_response_fill_table() actually uses a tt_local_entry pointer to iterate either over the local or the global table entries (it depends on the what hash table is passed as argument). To iterate over such entries the hlist_for_each_entry_rcu() macro has to access their "hash_entry" field which MUST be at the same position in both the tt_global/local_entry structures.

2011-10-18batman-adv: correctly set the data field in the TT_REPONSE packetAntonio Quartulli
In the TT_RESPONSE packet, the number of carried entries is not correctly set. This leads to a wrong interpretation of the packet payload on the receiver side causing random entries to be added to the global translation table. Therefore the latter gets always corrupted, triggering a table recovery all the time. Signed-off-by: Antonio Quartulli <ordex@autistici.org> Signed-off-by: Marek Lindner <lindner_marek@yahoo.de>

2011-07-05batman-adv: unify flags for tt_change/tt_local_entry/tt_global_entryAntonio Quartulli
The tt_local_entry structure now has a 'flags' field. This helps to unify the flags format to all the client related structures (tt_global_entry and tt_change). The 'never_purge' field is now encoded in the 'flags' one. To optimise the usage of this field, its length has been increased to 16bit in order to use the eight leading bits (from 0 to 7) to store flags that have to be sent on the wire, while the eight ending ones are used for local computation only. Moreover 'enum tt_change_flags' is now called 'enum tt_client_flags' and the defined values apply to the tt_local_entry, tt_global_entry and the tt_change 'flags' field.

2011-06-20batman-adv: improved roaming mechanismAntonio Quartulli
With the current client announcement implementation, in case of roaming, an update is triggered on the new AP serving the client. At that point the new information is spread around by means of the OGM broadcasting mechanism. Until this operations is not executed, no node is able to correctly route traffic towards the client. This obviously causes packet drops and introduces a delay in the time needed by the client to recover its connections. A new packet type called ROAMING_ADVERTISEMENT is added to account this issue. This message is sent in case of roaming from the new AP serving the client to the old one and will contain the client MAC address. In this way an out-of-OGM update is immediately committed, so that the old node can update its global translation table. Traffic reaching this node will then be redirected to the correct destination utilising the fresher information. Thus reducing the packet drops and the connection recovery delay.

2011-06-20batman-adv: improved client announcement mechanismAntonio Quartulli
The client announcement mechanism informs every mesh node in the network of any connected non-mesh client, in order to find the path towards that client from any given point in the mesh. The old implementation was based on the simple idea of appending a data buffer to each OGM containing all the client MAC addresses the node is serving. All other nodes can populate their global translation tables (table which links client MAC addresses to node addresses) using this MAC address buffer and linking it to the node's address contained in the OGM. A node that wants to contact a client has to lookup the node the client is connected to and its address in the global translation table. It is easy to understand that this implementation suffers from several issues: - big overhead (each and every OGM contains the entire list of connected clients) - high latencies for client route updates due to long OGM trip time and OGM losses The new implementation addresses these issues by appending client changes (new client joined or a client left) to the OGM instead of filling it with all the client addresses each time. In this way nodes can modify their global tables by means of "updates", thus reducing the overhead within the OGMs. To keep the entire network in sync each node maintains a translation table version number (ttvn) and a translation table checksum. These values are spread with the OGM to allow all the network participants to determine whether or not they need to update their translation table information. When a translation table lookup is performed in order to send a packet to a client attached to another node, the destination's ttvn is added to the payload packet. Forwarding nodes can compare the packet's ttvn with their destination's ttvn (this node could have a fresher information than the source) and re-route the packet if necessary. This greatly reduces the packet loss of clients roaming from one AP to the next.
