I gave a try to this patch, but I see something strange. After enabling a simple ebtables rule: ebtables -A INPUT -s MAC -j DROP and ebtables -A FORWARD -s MAC -j DROP (to be sure..)
I saw that batman ping was timing out, while the "originator list" (shown with batctl o) is still filled with the other node entry...
Hi Antonio,
thanks for trying the patch! In my case, it worked, I tried it with ebtables -I INPUT -s MAC -j DROP or ebtables -I INPUT -p 0x4305 -j DROP (and the same for -I OUTPUT)
batctl td reported, that it's not receiving any batman packets anymore and also the originator table was empty after a couple of minutes.
Hmm, and also that batping is timing out for you seems to indicate that it should work on your side. Could you check with batctl td too? How long have you been waiting for the originator table to clear? (dead nodes are not being cleared immediately in batman, as they don't harm the routing decisions and we still need the last measurements in case they might get alive again)
Cheers, Linus
Hi Linus, I thought that the dead node should be pushed away after a while, not 3 minutes. So that was my mistake...indeed everything was working correctly!
I tried it again five minutes ago, and everything went as I expected!
Thanks very much!
Regards
P.S. batctl td was not so usefull since I have to point it to wlan0..and obviously I can see all the packets there.
