we actually want those frames to pass through the mesh - otherwise we can't find out if "regular" packets would loop through the mesh, so we have handle those special packets like regular ones.

Ah, okay, thanks for the clarification! :)

If we don't want to see them, we have to hide them, but we can't remove the packet without hurting the functionality. :)

Yes, then filtering in batadv_tt_global_add() makes sense.

Although, sending these mesh wide sounds like it could create quite some overhead? Is this new to BLA2?
