Re: [B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH 5/5] batman-adv: avoid temporary routing loops by being strict on forwarded OGMs

Hi,

I agree with this patch, actually it should solve the loop problem as it is very similar to the proposed modification in my thesis.

thanks for the feedback!

In this way I think it is not necessary a global window to average TQ values but only the latest value can be sufficient. Doing this can be re-implemented a mechanism to improve OGM reliability sending old TQ ant TTL (and also sequence number) of the current best router if for example 2 OGM are missing.

I don't quite understand what you are proposing. Are you saying removing the averaging mechanism makes this patch obsolete and allows replacing the TTL/TQ values as the code does now (without the patch) ?

Cheers, Marek
