ok, im getting tcpdumps, this is a test bed of the same hardward atheros based Ubiquity NS2 devices running OpenWRT trunk
1 gateway -> 70 meters -> 1 node
no batgat, batmand running
it goes into this constant loop as shown in

http://pastebin.com/md162302 which is from last night 10PM

where the gateway and node continuously go into this ip expired loop for 5-15 minutes
causing routing for clients to go away, and network unstability, then it appears to come back for a while

I also have 21 nodes, same hardware, running batgat which still crashed as Gustavo pointed out
of which the logs were forwarded, the test bed has been setup to remove batgat and look for stability

im tcpdumping on both client and gateway now, ill forward the result of these logs in a bit
as for wireshark ill make a build with that and see if i can get these logs also

Please be precise here: Do you see routing loops or is your UDP connection not
stable (as indicated by your log) ?

This may or may not apply here. I have a look into the code later. Do you use
different hardware for your gateways and clients or always the same ?


> question is how do i get the routes to stabilize so the mesh functions

As I mentioned before we need a tcpdump of your traffic to help you. Even
better would be a wireshark log from both ends that we can analyze.

Marek
