I told you that I searched for the company but only found the community site open-mesh.org that doesn't seem to be related to any company. You said that you know about their commercial development/company. So I tried to contact you to get more information where I can find the contact information of the BATMAN company. Why don't you want to give me contact information of these people when you know the people behind the company? Sincerely, I am, Catherine Lowenstein

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] BLAII + gw_mode, DHCP sometimes gets dropped

by Guido Iribarren

Hello there again, I have observed a problem since updating to 2012.2 and enabled BLAII I'm compiling logs to understand what's happening, but as always, reading logs only gets me more lost :( So here i am again begging for help the setup is the same I described in yesterday's attachment, but what's not pictured is an ethernet cable between colmena-casa and f8d11504758. f8d11504758 is the only router that connects to the internet (through WAN cable), and it's also the only one that has dnsmasq running and gw_mode=server. All the other nodes have gw_mode=client All of the nodes have bridge_loop_avoidance=1 (even though there are no other utp connections, so it could in fact be enabled only on colmena-casa and f8d11504758) with this setup, dhcp requests from the mesh sometimes get "lost", either they don't reach f8d11504758 or the reply doesn't get out this didn't happen with batman 2012.1 , setup as indicated by the BLAI wiki page (batctl if add br-lan) furthermore, with batman 2012.2 , BLAII activated, but gw_mode=off in all nodes, DHCP also works fine. So, a few questions arise: is it a problem to activate bridge_loop_avoidance=1 in all nodes, regardless of the fact that they "need" it or not? (that is, it is activated on nodes that don't have any ethernet cables connected and couldn't possibly create a bridge loop) would it make a difference, if I add br-lan to bat0 (batctl if add br-lan) the way I used to do with batman 2012.1 ? any other thoughts or ideas? thanks as always!

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH] batman-adv: generalise size in bitarray API

by Antonio Quartulli

The current bitarray library assumes that the windows are always BATADV_TQ_LOCAL_WINDOW_SIZE long. If we want to reuse the same library in other contexts we need to make it general enough. This patch enables such the bitarray library to handle windows of any size.

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH] batman-adv: check batadv_orig_hash_add_if() return code

by Simon Wunderlich

If this call fails, some of the orig_nodes spaces may have been resized for the increased number of interface, and some may not. If we would just continue with the larger number of interfaces, this would lead to access to not allocated memory later. We better check the return code, and don't add the interface if no memory is available. OTOH, keeping some of the orig_nodes with too much memory allocated should hurt no one (except for a few too many bytes allocated).

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCHv4 0/3] new feature: Speedy Join 2012-07-01b

by Antonio Quartulli

Hello people, this is the fourth version of the Speedy Join patchset below Changes history: v1 -> v2: - indentation and style has been fixed taking into consideration Sven's suggestions - Old patch 4 has been removed. TT flags do not really need to be carry along with the tt_entry in a roaming_adv packet. (at least this is not needed for the purpose of this feature). A roaming client will be marked as ROAM on the new mesh node and therefore it will be already purged if nobody claims it v2 -> v3: - patch 1 and 2 have been merged in 1/3. Changes were all related to the new refcounting mechanism. ..orig_entry_find() function has been improved as well as ..orig_entry_add() (it does internally check if the orig_entry already exists or not) and ..has_orig() (now it does use ..orig_entry_find()). - patch 2/3 has been modified to take into consideration the change above - temp timeout changed to an absolute value instead of being computed as product of the local orig_interval times a constant factor. v3 -> v4: - fixed some minor style issues - renamed batadv_orig_list_entry_free_ref() to batadv_tt_orig_list_entry_free_ref() - improved comment in patch 2/3 Thank you, Antonio Antonio Quartulli (3): batman-adv: add reference counting for type batadv_tt_orig_list_entry batman-adv: detect not yet announced clients batman-adv: change interface_rx to get orig node main.h | 1 + packet.h | 1 + routing.c | 10 +-- soft-interface.c | 6 +- soft-interface.h | 5 +- translation-table.c | 194 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-------------- translation-table.h | 4 +- types.h | 2 + 8 files changed, 163 insertions(+), 60 deletions(-) -- 1.7.9.4
