Hi community,
We have batman-adv working on OpenWRT Chaos Calmer. - Atheros ar9331 MIPS platform + built-in ath9k WiFi - batman-adv version 2016.1 - routing_algos = BATMAN_IV - Wireless interface MTU = 1532, adhoc network encryption "psk2-ccmp" - bat0 interface MTU = 1500
We have batman-adv running on 10+ sites. For each site, there are 10-20 nodes in the mesh network.
batman-adv runs almost perfectly (*almost*). Occasionally (occurrence rate is low), node drops off the batman-adv / adhoc mesh. - Sometimes, node can recover (re-joins the mesh network automatically), but not always.
Any suggestions? Does batman-adv works perfectly in the field (i.e. running for 1 year with 100+ nodes without any issues)?
What about I use one node as Master, and other nodes ping this Master every 10s (or 30 seconds) (to keep mesh from inactivity)? Does this help?
Thanks. Xuebing Wang
