Just one more info: is there an hard limit for the number of "bat" interfaces on the same host?
But yes, running multiple batman-adv interfaces on the same host works fine. I am currently using 8 in parallel. The lower/hardif/slave interfaces are using VXLAN (to connect some servers in other datacenters), fastd (to connect remote "clients") and some other "ethernet" protocol compatible things.
And the hard limit is most likely the number of netdev's the Linux kernel can create (id wise and memory wise).
Moreover, is the multiple batX namespaces a scenario that it is supposed to work fine, is it well tested or it still does need some love?
I don't like the word "namespaces" here. Because this reverse to a completely different concept in the linux kernel.
And I don't know what you will end using - so I cannot say if this will work or is tested.
Kind regards, Sven
