The problem is that you (sry, no offence meant) did a quite bad job to convert it. bmxd.git has these weird git-svn-id lines in the commit messages, "random" commiter names+mails, missing parts of the history, dangling symlinks, ... Please take a look at git://git.open-mesh.org/ecsv/test/bmx.git I don't say that it is the holy grail of svn-to-git conversation, but I think it could be a better conversation than your bmxd.git Best regards, Sven

I don't see a good reason to apologize, just wondering why you are not sending this mail to the public list ? > I want to use the mesh potatoes as well as the batphone (android > version of batman) to create a mesh model. What is the "batphone" ? A project name or a nick name you invented ? :-) Note: Various tests have shown that running a mobile device (smartphone/tablet/etc) in adhoc mode plus running a mesh protocol on top is a battery killer, hence not practical in real world scenarios (in addition of the hassle to install and configure the mesh software on each and every device). This was one of the main reasons to start developing batman-adv as it allows mobile devices to take advantage of the mesh (e.g. roaming) without having to run the mesh on the device itself. You might be aware of this - I am just mentioning it because many people are not. > First we say the recently received OGMs will give a clear indication on the > reliability on the link, so we give the recently received OGMs from the > sliding window a priority in deciding the best next hop link towards a > destination.

We are in the process of redesigning the current protocol and welcome any input. Giving older OGMs less "weight" was also one of the ideas we had.

Each "struct orig_node" has a bitarray to keep track of its own seqnos repeated by its neighbors (bcast_own) and each "struct neigh_node" having a bitarray for its own OGMs (real_bits). > 2.

This is a little abstract. Usually, we discuss specific concepts / ideas in our IRC channel or on the mailing list long before starting to implement them. The past has shown it is often better to let other people dive into your ideas and comment because routing is a rather complex subject. As I mentioned above: We are in a redesign phase right now and welcome anyone interested to join. As the next step we envisioned a collection of routing scenarios in which the current implementation behaves poorly. All routing protocol changes have to go through this collection of scenarios to estimate its impact. What do you think about this idea ? Regards, Marek

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] Wireless Battle Mesh v4 - Call for papers
by Marek Lindner 22 Feb '11

22 Feb '11

Wireless Battle Mesh v4 - Call for papers ========================= Wireless Battle Mesh v4 is at hand and it is time to bring together the agenda. To avoid last year's dynamic process which gave us a true talk marathon on the very last day of WBMv3 all talks / workshops / panel discussions shall be announced beforehand. Tracks ==== In order to broaden the horizon of the event we are going to split the event into different tracks: * The technical track is taking place throughout the week (monday till friday) which mainly focuses on rather technical topics like: => routing protocol internals => implementations / development of "cool" algorithms => hands-on routing / multicast / roaming / convergence speed / etc => secuity aspects in mesh networks => your idea here * The weekend (saturday & sunday) is reserved for the applications track which aims to showcase applications that run on top of the mesh. It is not important whether protocol X or Y is deployed and how it is implemented, the question is: What can we do with the mesh once it is there ? => VoIP in the mesh ? => fast desaster recovery ? => artistic projects ? => your idea here The idea of these tracks is to provide a ground for the different developers / projects to exchange ideas on technical aspects of algorithms / implementations / optimizations as well as organizing an exchange with mesh network users who care less about how the mesh itself works as long as their application can do its job. On the other hand the weekend serves as an entry point for people to learn about what you can actually do with mesh networks. Submission ======= To allow an efficient handling of your submission, please provide the following information and send them to me directly in form of an email: * your name * the track you are interested in * the type of your slot (talk/workshop/panel discussion) * your topic headline * your topic description which can brief (does not need to exceed a couple of lines) but should provide a reasonable summary of your talk * the dates of your stay at the event + (optional) preferred day for your slot * length of the slot if you wish to do a workshop (all other slots will be limited to one hour - notify me in advance if you think that is not enough for you) Deadlines ====== Submissions are accepted until and including the 28th of February. Everyone missing this deadline still has the opportunity to apply for a lightening talk slot. These slots can be acquired by simply contacting me during the event. The list of registered lightening talks will be published in the battlemesh wiki. The final program will be made available in the aforementioned wiki during the first week of March. If you have any question or suggestion, please let me know. Regards, Marek

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] Reordered rcu refcounting
by Sven Eckelmann 13 Feb '11

13 Feb '11

Hi, I told Linus and Marek that the implementation of some datastructures using reference counting and RCUs must be redesigned. The problem is that call_rcu should only be used when the reference count is zero because multiple call_rcu cannot be initiated at the same time. The next problem is that we may try to access an element with the refcount 0 when we try to traverse a rcu protected list. This problem cannot be solved by kref - thus we have to use atomic_t again to _not_ increase the reference count when it was already zero. Marek asked me what we must change - I try to summarize those things in the following patches. They aren't tested and should only be seen as suggestions what must be done to finish the "remove orig_hash lock"-patches. If you try these patches then please keep in mind that they will sell your soul to the next confectioner (for some cookies or a pie). More information can be found inside Documentation/RCU/rcuref.txt Btw, maybe I've found a bug inside the find_router with enabled bonding (see "BUG" in patch 4). Best regards, Sven

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] Connecting through Batman advanced interface
by Clemens John 08 Feb '11

08 Feb '11

Hi, I have a special question on confgurating our batman advanced setup. We have a Tinc VPN on tap0, and behind this VPN is a dhcp server and an internet gateway which is reachable trough the ip 10.18.0.1. On the router I have ath1, an adhoc wlan device, on which batman advanced is sending packagets. Now bat0 and tap0 are brindged to br-mesh. Like you can see in the configuration: root@Floh:~# cat /etc/config/network [...] config 'interface' 'mesh' option 'type' 'bridge' option 'ifname' 'bat0 tap0' option 'stp' '1' [...] root@Floh:~# cat /etc/config/batman-adv config 'mesh' 'bat0' option 'interfaces' 'ath1' option 'orig_interval' option 'log_level' [batman] [client]-->[adhoc ath1]-->[bat0][br-mesh][tap0]-->internet-->[gateway/dhcp] Other nodes running the same configuration but not connecting trought vpn can connect to the dhcp server through batman advanced and the adhoc device. If a client (laptop) without batman advanced tries to connect, it has no success because it does not get an I address. What can I do? I can not open a second wifi device in ap mode and add it to mesh. I know that this would be the best way but I´m trying this on an wrt54g and the b43 driver does not support multi essid.

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] Weighting the local packet count; Optimizations for multi-interface nodes
by Daniel Seither 04 Feb '11

04 Feb '11

Hi there, I found an interesting paper today that covers mobility of some nodes in a batman-adv network: > Stefano Annese, Claudio Casetti, Carla F. Chiasserini, Paolo > Cipollone, Andrea Ghittino, and Massimo Reineri. 2009. Assessing > mobility support in mesh networks. In Proceedings of the 4th ACM > international workshop on Experimental evaluation and > characterization (WINTECH '09). http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1614297 Unfortunately, the paper is not freely available on the web. If you're blessed with access to the ACM digital library by your school or employer, you can download it free of charge; in other cases you'll have to buy it for USD 15. In the following, I will summarize relevant parts: I) Weighting the local packet count The authors found that when each entry in the sliding window is weighed with the same weight as it is done in the current version of batman-adv, routing loops can occur when mobility is present. They greatly improve their results by weighting with the following function (i = 0..S-1 where S is the window size; 0 means freshest packet): weight(i) := max(1, floor(i * S / e^i)) This function seems to be suboptimal as it weights entry 0 with 1 while the following few entries are boosted with a weight of up to 20 (see attachment). Adding 1 to i should deal with this flaw. However, this weighting function lead to big improvements in the authors' simulations, so I think you are on the right track when thinking about introducing some kind of weighting or moving average to boost the weight of current packets. Here's the Octave/Matlab code I used to create the plot (if you want to do plots for other weighting functions that are discussed, just replace the definition of w and don't forget to use .* and ./ instead of * and / to enforce elementwise operations): > x = 0:63 > w = max(1, x.*64./exp(x)) > stem(x,w) > xlabel('age') > ylabel('weight') II) Optimizations for multi-interface nodes The authors used nodes with 2 radios. They did roughly the following on the mobile nodes (not on the fixed ones): 1) In regular intervals, scan the forwarding tables for each interface to check if any neighbors are known. If an interface has no contact to any neighbor, go to 2) 2) Use the interface without known neighbors to scan all channels except the channel that the other interface is listening to. Don't send OGMs but simply listen for OGMs from other stations. If a channel is found that has a neighbor sending, stay on this channel and start to behave like a normal batman-adv node (send OGMs etc.). I'm not sure if this will be benefitial in other scenarios than in the vehicular network scenario of the paper, but I wanted to share my findings with you. - Daniel

Changelog: * rebasing to commit [65e0869478bce153a799c0e774a117ba5fc78025], using new orig_hash methods * putting seqno before ttl, 4 byte aligning mcast_packet [01/20] * adapted compat.h to not use custom lock macros, instead only one macro for netif_addr_lock_bh() in case of older kernel versions * merged spinlock-irqsave-to-bh commit into previous commits [20/20] * moved mcast_may_optimize() to soft-interface.c [18/20], removed inlining (won't optimize much anyway...) * purge_mcast_forw_table, splitted list operations into separate functions [12/20] * use batman_if refcounting to reduce the time of rcu-locking [13/20] * do not create nexthop entry if according batman_if is NULL [13/20] * route_mcast_packet, split into separat functions [13/20] * fix typo "seperate" [13/20] * fix typo "i.g." [08/20] * COMPAT_VERSION to 14 [01/20] * use rcu-locking+refcounting for orig_node, remove orig_hash_lock [07/20], [17/20] * made checkpatch-clean * use __packed instead of __attribute_((packed)) [01/20] * change tracker_packet_for_each_dest macro [07/20]: make a "break" in this macro to behave like usual, export parts from macro into own functions TODO: * directly prepare mcast-tracker-packet in sk_buff * only create methods / variables in patches that need them * update mcast-doc * upload updated mcast-doc to wiki maybe TODO? * use hlist instead of list for mcast-table? * use rcu-locking / refcounting for mcast_forw_table? Cheers, Linus
