Hi,
05:12:09.512310 arp who-has 192.168.43.255 tell 192.168.42.25 05:12:10.512178 arp who-has 192.168.43.255 tell 192.168.42.25
These ARP request are not issued by BATMAN itself. BATMAN does only send broadcast packets - your system creates these requests.
This is two times the same node, first time it recognizes the broadcast the right way, second time not.
BATMAN askes the system for the IP and broadcast addresses. In both cases the system responds with the same answer. I don't see much difference from batmans point of view.
Is this implemented like this (where?)? Can't work BATMAN with the interfaces (or can't we change it to work this way), it would make the whole configuration much easier to assign to every node only one single IP address (or two, one for olsr and ne for BATMAN)? We are doing this with olsr and this really makes the network-structure much cleaner - every node has one IP.
You have multihomed OLSR nodes with a single IP and that works ? Can anyone of the OLSR folks say something about that ? I can't imagine how the routing daemon can distinguish 2 distinct connections with the same address ...
