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 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 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.

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.
