How many relay nodes can be supported at NetworkCoding ( mtu 1546 ) .
I can understand network coding , it will besame as proxy or Intermediator at Layer 2 ,
Maybe there is a complete misunderstanding what "network coding" is?
Maybe an easier expression would be "packet mixing" or "magic packet mangling" [1].
Any code that does something with networking is usually *not* "network coding" (at least in this context here).
Have a look at the links Sven has provided earlier.
Your meaning : Batman-adv can build Similarmechanism ( Intermediator ) via intermediator , it wil be relay based real application packet ( not relay based Broadcast packet)
Just try it :-). Compile batman-adv *without network coding* with your A-B-C scenario and see how it magically works, too :-).

[1]: Please no expert hit me :D. I know, ultimately, network coding would replace packet based networks, if I remember Frank's talk in Leipzig correctly
