Node A cannot know, whether you have scenario 1 or 2.
But an ethernet driver or mac80211 with AP/STA interfaces (without ap-isolation) could. Or tinc with forwarding enabled would know. All these can be pretty sure that things are transitive and could set a TRANSITIVE flag quite safely.
Any other interface type, driver etc. would leave the TRANSITIVE flag unset by default to be on the safe side.
Thank you for your explanations. Indeed covering most cases automatically but still have a knob for very special environments is a very good idea. I'm looking forward having this available - hopefully in short term.
Best regards, Roland.
