Hello,
thanks to Sven Eckelmann we now have Wireshark [1] dissectors available. :)
You can use them to analyze B.A.T.M.A.N. traffic in your network, it dissects the protocol information of the incoming packets.
The dissectors are available at our tool download site[2]:
http://downloads.open-mesh.net/batman/useful-scripts-and-tools/wireshark-bat... -> Dissector for the latest batman-advanced (layer 2) revision http://downloads.open-mesh.net/batman/useful-scripts-and-tools/wireshark-bat... -> Dissector for batman-0.3 (layer 3)
Development is going on at http://gitorious.org/projects/wireshark-batman and http://gitorious.org/projects/wireshark-batman-adv
It is planned to contribute the dissectors to the upstream Wireshark soon.
Regards, Simon
