[B.A.T.M.A.N.] link alternation when radios are not on batman-adv router?
by dan
I have an interesting hardware setup I'd like to explore.
Basically, I would like to take commodity ubiquiti and/or openmesh
hardware and build a mesh with two different node types, some having
just 1 radio and others having multiple radios, a standard node and a
super node.
the standard node is:
a picostation flashed to openwrt running batman-adv and running the
radio in Ad-Hoc mode. Alternately an OM2P flashed to openwrt. This
is the basic client radio
the super node is:
a group of picostations or nanostations, flashed openwrt in adhoc
mode, but acting only as the L2 transport with a router at the center
running batman-adv.
The idea is that the super nodes have multiple radios in multiple
channels and can take advantage of link alternation allowing super
nodes to keep much higher bandwidth between them while the standard
nodes are cheap. The 'router' MIGHT also have a radio for client
access (unifi station flashed to openwrt maybe, or an ALIX board)
The supernode will have more CPU and also be the target of
backhaul/shorthaul links to cut down on hop count. The main router
would also be a batman-adv device, probably an x86 server, and would
be the border router for the mesh.
some questions,
I know that the supernodes will have higher throughput capabilities
due to dual mesh radios, but how will batman-adv know this or how
would I tell it? Is the internal mechanism for determining the best
path going to take this into account? Is there a way to identify a
supernode as being a better path above and beyond the automatic
batman-adv mechanisms?
Is having separate radios connected to a batman-adv router going to
behave how I presume? That multiple node2node connections will be
identified and the links be alternated when appropriate?
If the supernodes have 2 mesh radios, 1 in 5Ghz and 1 in 2.4Ghz, then
the standard nodes will only be able to connect to the 2.4Ghz channel
which might make it inappropriate to do link alternating on these two
links because of the shared traffic. Should batman-adv automatically
stop alternating the tx/rx on these links when one of the channels
starts to get saturated?
some other info:
the supernodes may have a link directly to the main distribution
point, but may also be linked just to another supernode and not to the
main distribution point, or possibly both.
the supernodes are likely to have more than 2 mesh radios as some of
these could be direction antennas. A supernode might have 3x 2.4Ghz
radios for mesh, 2x 5Ghz radios for mesh, and a 2.4Ghz radio for
non-mesh clients. These would most likely all be connected to a
switch port and only be on a single ethernet interface as far as
batman-adv is concerned.

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] [RFC] ELP
by Marek Lindner
Hi,
after numerous infrastructure changes in the past weeks ELP[1] slowly
approaches the state in which it can be tested and later merged into the
master branch.
Since its initial implementation by Linus Luessing last summer a lot has
happened:
* the internal protocol name (NDP) was renamed to ELP
* the old code was rebased on top of the master branch
* the ELP code was adjusted to the many changes in our code base
* several patches were squashed together
* brought the code in sync with the spec
* numerous bugs were fixed (buffer overflow, writing into random memory
sections, memory corruptions, locking issues, elp packet length checks,
printing the neighbors of the requested mesh only and many more)
The ELP code is the first to use the recently introduced routing protocol
abstraction. It is not compiled into batman-adv by default, therefore you
need to compile with CONFIG_BATMAN_ADV_BATMAN_V=y or modify the makefile.
Once the batman-adv kernel module has been loaded you can check for the
existence of the new routing protocol:
cat /sys/kernel/debug/batman_adv/routing_algos
Available routing algorithms:
BATMAN IV
BATMAN V
To activate B.A.T.M.A.N. V (ELP) you should run the following command *before*
adding any interface via batctl:
echo -n "BATMAN V" > /sys/module/batman_adv/parameters/routing_algo
Caveats:
* ELP alone (without OGMv2) isn't very useful because ELP handles single hop
neighbors only. So don't expect to convert your entire mesh network to
B.A.T.M.A.N. V just yet.
* The batman-adv routing protocol abstraction still lacks the translation
table integration which is why the following patches will lead to a kernel
crash. The ELP repository[2] contains a patch to disable the TT propagation
partially to mitigate the problem until a proper solution has been
implemented.
Any comments and suggestions are appreciated.
Regards,
Marek

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH] batman-adv: Initialize lockdep class keys for hashes
by Sven Eckelmann
The hash for claim and backbone hash in the bridge loop avoidance code receive
the same key because they are getting initialized by hash_new with the same
key. Lockdep will create a backtrace when they are used recursively. This can
be avoided by reinitializing the key directly after the hash_new.

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] any throughput mechanism or plans?
by dan
I can't see anything in my reading on this.
Is there a mechanism to identify throughput between two nodes? or
between a client and a destination for the purpose of routing through
the highest throughput path?
For instance, track the maximum throughput on each interface over
time. Compare it to the current throughput on the interface and send
what is leftover as 'available throughput' with the TQ each node. Now
instead of adding up the numbers as with TQ, just take the min. Take
the lowest throughput along the path and have a node be able to
utilize the highest throughput path that has acceptable TQ. As a
node's interface gets loaded up (vs observed maximum) it will inform
it's neighbors in the same way it informs them of the TQ of each
interface and then the neighbors can choose to route around if there
is a good alternate path.
Basically, I'm thinking that TQ isn't the only or most optimal way to
route simply because available throughput should be considered
somehow. As far as I can tell, a 56k link with .001% packet loss is
better than a 54Mb link with .1% packet loss, though both are solid
interfaces and the 54Mb link should be prefered heavily over the 56k
link. The 56k link probably will start dropping packets once it is
saturated, but one client might run up against slow ACKs keeping the
remote server from sending enough data to saturate the connection so
the client could be getting a very slow connection while a 54Mb link
sits virtually unused.

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] question about frag_can_reassemble()
by Dan Carpenter
Hi Sven,
I had a question about the code in frag_can_reassemble().
net/batman-adv/unicast.h
51
52 merged_size = (skb->len - sizeof(*unicast_packet)) * 2;
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
53 merged_size += sizeof(struct unicast_packet) + uneven_correction;
54
55 return merged_size <= mtu;
56 }
Can the skb->len be less than sizeof(*unicast_packet) (ie 20 bytes)?
If "len" is less than 10 then we would return false but if it's
over 10 then we would return true. Roughly.
regards,
dan carpenter

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH] batman-adv: make tt_changes_buff API consistent
by Antonio Quartulli
The changes buff is not used in a consistent way right now. During the OGM
preparation, first the buffer size is read and then it is copied, without any
locking mechanism at all. This could obviously raise a race condition.
This patch changes the API a little bit and adds a proper locking mechanism in
order to avoid such problem.
At the same time, the new API proposed in this patch is also more suitable to
make the OGM packet preparation independent from the TT code.

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] BW degradation on p2p links?
by Guido Iribarren
Hi,
i'm participating in the development of a wireless mesh network in
Delta de Tigre, near Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Landscape is absolutely flat, with dense forest 15-20mts tall. Nodes
are being installed along the river, 50 - 150mts apart, with clear LOS
at ground level.
I collaborated with Nico Echaniz last month, bulding another community
network in Cordoba, and given the success, I decided to start one more
here. I'm also really thankful with Elektra, for recommending the
tl-m3220 to Nico!
We chose batman over olsr, in part because of avahi stuff, but also to
have a real-world implementation and thus collaborate in testing /
debugging :) So far, there are only 4 working nodes, but luckily I'm
already facing unexpected behaviour.
I'm sorry for the long email, it's mostly terminal logs.
In short, iperf between two neighbouring nodes reports >20mbps, yet
running the same iperf between nodes separated by one hop reports
inexplicably low <5mbps.
Links are point to point, with different radios on different channels,
no freq overlap.
A=[ath9k]--(50m)--[ath9k]=B=[ath9k_htc]--(150m)--[ath9k_htc]=C=[ath9k]--(50m)--[ath9k]=D
A is a tplink mr3420 + wn722n
B and C are tplink mr3220 + wn722n
D is a tplink mr3220 (single interface)
All of them are running openwrt trunk r30919.
the internal iface of the mr3x20 uses ath9k, and the wn722n runs with ath9k_htc
the link between B and C is done in infrastructure mode, B is ap and C
is managed. Radios are set to channel 9, HT40-.
C <-> D is made with ath9k , in channel 1 , HT20.
(all hostnames have been obscured for readability :P )

This can be reproduced at will, and i don't understand what's happening.
Looks like node C is getting .. overwhelmed..(?) when forwarding the
packets between B and D
Even more intriguing is that the problem is much worse when going B ->
D (tenfold slower) than from D -> B (twice slower)

Any ideas, thoughts, pointers? Any additional info needed?
I've RTFW, RTFM, and even RTF-PDF concerning bandwidth degradation on
single-interface-node mesh networks, and that's the reason why i'm (so
far unsuccessfully) trying to overcome that problem with the
additional USB interface.
Thanks a lot for the attention!
