Hi Simon and community,

We have been using batman-adv on OpenWRT 15.05

We are exploring the idea of QoS over batman-adv to transmit small quantity of high priority data. Any suggestions? Thanks.

First step: Update OpenWrt to something which is not EOL since many years. This will also update the batman-adv version to a version which is actually supported in openwrt-routing.

And then you will get the dsfield or 802.1Q values propagated to the mac80211 layer (as part of the priority field of the skbuff).

If you want to have QoS on a higher layer (before it enters batman-adv) then just use the normal queuing disciplines of the Linux kernel.

Kind regards, Sven
