The unicast packet rerouting code makes several assumptions. For instance it assumes that there is always exactly one destination in the TT. This breaks for multicast frames in a unicast packets in several ways:

For one thing if there is actually no TT entry and the destination node was selected due to the multicast tvlv flags it announced. Then an intermediate node will wrongly drop the packet.

For another thing if there is a TT entry but the TTVN of this entry is newer than the originally addressed destination node: Then the intermediate node will wrongly redirect the packet, leading to duplicated multicast packets at a multicast listener and missing packets at other multicast listeners or multicast routers.

Fixing this by not applying the unicast packet rerouting to batman-adv unicast packets with a multicast payload. We are not able to detect a roaming multicast listener at the moment and will just continue to send the multicast frame to both the new and old destination for a while in case of such a roaming multicast listener.

Scenario: * Multicast frame send from a BLA backbone (multiple nodes with their bat0 bridged together, with BLA enabled)

Issue: * BLA backbone nodes receive the frame multiple times on bat0

For multicast frames received via batman-adv broadcast packets the originator of the broadcast packet is checked before decapsulating and forwarding the frame to bat0 (batadv_bla_is_backbone_gw()-> batadv_recv_bcast_packet()). If it came from a node which shares the same BLA backbone with us then it is not forwarded to bat0 to avoid a loop.

When sending a multicast frame in a non-4-address batman-adv unicast packet we are currently missing this check - and cannot do so because the batman-adv unicast packet has no originator address field.

However, we can simply fix this on the sender side by only sending the multicast frame via unicasts to interested nodes which do not share the same BLA backbone with us. This also nicely avoids some unnecessary transmissions on mesh side.

Note that no infinite loop was observed, probably because of dropping via batadv_interface_tx()->batadv_bla_tx(). However the duplicates still utterly confuse switches/bridges, ICMPv6 duplicate address detection and neighbor discovery and therefore leads to long delays before being able to establish TCP connections, for instance. And it also leads to the Linux bridge printing messages like: "br-lan: received packet on eth1 with own address as source address ..."

Scenario: * Multicast frame send from BLA backbone gateways (multiple nodes with their bat0 bridged together, with BLA enabled) sharing the same LAN to nodes in the mesh

Issue: * Nodes receive the frame multiple times on bat0 from the mesh, once from each foreign BLA backbone gateway which shares the same LAN with another

For multicast frames via batman-adv broadcast packets coming from the same BLA backbone but from different backbone gateways duplicates are currently detected via a CRC history of previously received packets.

However this CRC so far was not performed for multicast frames received via batman-adv unicast packets. Fixing this by appyling the same check for such packets, too.

Room for improvements in the future: Ideally we would introduce the possibility to not only claim a client, but a complete originator, too. This would allow us to only send a multicast-in-unicast packet from a BLA backbone gateway claiming the node and by that avoid potential redundant transmissions in the first place.
