Hello,<br>
<br>
 &nbsp; &nbsp;I read some posts on the web about B.A.T.M.A.N being (or becoming)<br>
a layer 2.5 protocol, which would make it operate below IP. But, at<br>
the website and some papers I read this is not mentioned, and the<br>
impression is that it is a regular layer 3 protocol. Can anyone please<br>
clarify, and if possible, point to some reference that may confirm<br>
that batman is or is not operating at layer 2.5?<br>
<br>
 &nbsp; I&#39;m writing a paper on mesh protocols and I need to know which<br>
layer batman really operates in order to cite it correctly.<br>
<br>
best regards,<br>
<br>
