Hello everyone first: nice work, i'm impressed! i'm migrating 15 node olsr network to batman. right now all nodes run olsrd and batman-0.2 parallel, but there are some issues with "hidden nodes" (thanks to Axel for the bmx-reference-manual) so my question, which of the switches from bmx (if any) are available in the 0.3-beta versions,

All switches available in 0.3-beta have been documented by Wesley on the corresponding man page: http://downloads.open-mesh.net/batman/development/sources/batmand_0.3-beta-c... and batmand_howto: https://www.open-mesh.net/batman/doc/batmand_howto.pdf

The switches mentioned in the bmx manual are not available in 0.3-beta. That is one of the differences between the two branches. The objective of the 0.3-beta branch is to always identify the best paramtrization automatically, relieving the administrator from the task of identifying appropriate parameters. For the "hidden nodes" issues, the 0.3-beta implementation should automatically hide the existence of all non-primary interface originators beyond the local neighbor horizon and instead send host network advertisements (HNAs).

or is the beta just something like 0.3-exp --bmx-defaults ?

No! The --bmx-defaults directive activates features from the batmand-experimental branch which might or might not find its way into the final batmand-0.3 release.

The --bmx-defaults directive is supposed to always enable the latest "state-of-the-art" of the current batmand-exp implementation. Therefore the functionality enabled by this switch will change with future versions. Currently the --bmx-defaults switch implements the same parameters as the --graz-2007 switch. And this switch is supposed to remain as it is also in future versions. See: http://downloads.open-mesh.net/batman/development/sources/batmand-exp_0.3-ex...

ciao, axel

cheers
