Hi list

Is there any way to block some links between nodes in order to force a specific network topology in batman-adv?

Por example, if y have 3 nodes A, B, C and I want to create a string topology A <-> B <-> C, where A can not connect directly with C, how could I get it without move far away the nodes?

You can try to add a your interface to a bridge (only one interface per bridge) and add this bridge to batman-adv. Now you can filter packets using ebtables (and therefore drop packets from specific hosts).
