My apologies bringing this back but I'm still having trouble with this. Each of my 50 nodes sends a 100 byte packet via broadcast every 30 seconds, even if coincidently they all transmit it at the same time that's only 5kB of data to move, much under the 1MB (default I believe?) bandwidth for multicast. Unless there's a large amount of broadcast traffic outside of my python program I don't see this being the culprit.
Mhm, this is really not much data ... did you try the multicast as suggested in an earlier reply?
The storms tend to start when connection to a few nodes gets flakey, so I can see the reset protection setting being helpful, how do I set BATADV_RESET_PROTECTION_MS? Is this an environment variable or do I set it with batctl?
BATADV_RESET_PROTECTION_MS is a define in the batman-adv C-code, so it can't be set at runtime but only at compile time.
Cheers, Simon
