Re: batman-adv for kbit level speeds, external neighbor info

Hi everybody,

I have some questions about batman-adv.
Do you suggest, batman-adv, for speeds like 2.4kbit/s (very slow networks)? I tried to use batctl throughput_override, for such a setup. It seems at least 100kbit/s speed is valid for this utility.
Is there any way, feeding neighbor information to batman-adv externally (etc. using DLEP protocol, as an external link monitor)?
Thank you in advance.

If you use throughput override on all devices, you could also just shift the value equally on all devices. For instance just set 24 Mbit/s instead for a 2.4 kbit/s link.

BATMAN V algorithm itself at the moment does not care about the actual accuracy of the unit. As long as the values are not too small or too large. And as long as it's the same baseline on all devices.
