                         if Relay mode is based on Layer 3 ( route or

Nat ) , it will be very complex and Infeasible at large wifi network

No, batman-adv has nothing to do with layer 3. For clients in batman-adv it all looks like one, big switch.

It does that not by layer3 routing or layer3 NAT'ing, but by encapsulating frames in its own headers.
