I actually want to enable traffic. Any traffic from any node in the mesh. Regarding packet storm: I thought that the reject in the default iptables config might be there to stop propagation of some packets which would otherwise propagate and thus multiply in multiple routes. I am seeing batman packets rejected there. As you can see, working of batmand is somewhat a black magic for me, esp. wrt. the role of the gate interface. From the fact that I had to touch the default firewall config to make it work has suggested that I either do some nonstandard thing, or I am doing it in the wrong way.
Normally, you don't any specific rules to make it work - it works as-is out of the box unless your system configures a firewall. If you tell your system to disable the firewall entirely everything will work. What distribution are you using ? OpenWRT ?
The gateway handling (i.e. gate0) is documented: http://www.open-mesh.org/wiki/InternetTuning Feel free to ask questions that the documentation does not answer. :-)
This is why I try to figure out whether my config is sound enough before I give it to my village (some 8 thousand people).
Wow, sounds interesting. Where will that be ?
