Hi,
I know I asked this question some time ago but I didn´t got it till now so I have to ask again. I know that Batman advanced does the meshing on layer 2 and has nothing to do with layer 3.
We have a wonderfull working Batman advanced network now which we use with IPv4. Communication inside the networks works verry well and everything is fine.
Now I want to go from the Batman advanced mesh network to the internet. Therefor we have several gateways which I can use to get into the internet. To use one of the gateways, I only have to set the default route of the mesh- client to the gateways IPv4 address.
How can I do this automatically and how can I automatically choose the best gateway for my client? I know that Batman advanced does not do this for now but I already saw something that sounded like made for this in the trunk version and on the manpage of batctl. The function is called gw_mode.
*How do you this? *What do you recommend for this task? *What´s about the funktion in trunk? Is the function made for this? **If so why do you mix Layer 2 and Layer 3 now? **When do you think this function will be in the stable release?
Sorry for so many questions but I´m a bit confused^^ Clemens
