The purpose of this new packet type is to allow to forward an IP multicast packet with less transmissions / overhead than the multicast-via-multiple-unicasts approach. Or to reach a lot more destinations (currently up to 196, depending on the payload size, see Wiki documentation for details) than with the default multicast fanout for the via-unicasts approach.
Please don't forget that batctl's tcpdump also requires support for parsing it.
Kind regards, Sven
