Hi, I am new to the BATMAN list, and I need some help, I am running some feasibility tests on batman-adv for our use. I need to test how well it reroutes traffic when an intermediate node goes away. I need to set up a mesh in a diamond pattern, like:

|---->B<----| A<--{ }--->D |---->C<----|

Then find out if traffic is being routed through the B node, shutdown the B node, and see that the route "heals" to using node C instead.

I was able to do this on open80211s by using the "iw station set plink_action block" command to force the A node to never communicate directly with the D node, and wireshark to verify the communications.

Does anyone know of a way of doing these types of path manipulations with batman-adv? I didn't see anything in batctl that looked like it would work. Maybe there are /sys or /proc entries?
