Im aware that batman-adv doesn't care about tcp or udp and it doesn't have any queues either. what i want is how it handles the out going packets more specifically how it places the Frames on net. what file does this and what headers supports this?
Seems you are looking for some basics ? How about peeking into my preferred master thesis to point people to ?
Network coding with batman-adv (linked and hosted on open-mesh.org). Chapter 4 goes into details how frames travel through batman-adv: http://downloads.open-mesh.org/batman/papers/batman-adv_network_coding.pdf
Probably not 100% accurate these days (batman-adv does change quite a bit) but it should help you to get the picture.
