Batman-adv does indeed seem like the way forward. So,
on top of batman-adv,
what solutions are there for IP address distribution? What might you try in
a situation where there is no obvious central coordinator to put a DHCP
server on?
Just do a quick search for "ip
autoconfiguration"/"address
autoconfiguration"[1,2] and you will find different solutions like
zeroconf[3]/APIPA[4]. These are of course only link-local/point-to-point
solutions.
Best regards,
Sven
