[B.A.T.M.A.N.] Disconnecting the nodes in batman-adv 2011.1.0

Hi all,

I have three nodes (connected through wifi) running batman-adv,

node_1 ------ node_2 ------node_3

They have ip address ipv4 10.42.43.1 , 2 , 3 respectively.

Now, all the nodes are connected to each other.

To see the bandwidth and jitter patterns through relaying, I decided to disconnect node_1 and node_3.

In node_1 ,

sudo iptables -A INPUT -s 10.42.43.3 -j DROP

When, I now run batman-adv protocol, node_1 still finds node_3 without node_2 being involved.

Though they cannot ping and avahi doesn't run, batman-adv shows them as 1 hop neighbors.

How can I disconnect node_1 from node_3 so that I can see the 2 hop patterns.

Thankyou in advance.

Max
