Re: [B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH v5 2/6] batman-adv: speed up dat by snooping received ip traffic

Are new clients (Mac) not already spread as info on the network? So couldn't we not just snoop dhcp traffic on gateways and spread the info about acknowledged IPs as well?

Just a small info in case somebody wants to work on it:

batman-adv in gw server mode would only handle the DHCP replies (ACK, OFFER, ...) only when they are sent as broadcast. But it is a lot more efficient when the DHCPd sents replies as unicast packet.
