There is no artificial limit added by batman-adv. But transmitting a lot of broadcasts over 255 virtual links sharing the same physical link might get interesting (independent of batman-adv).
this made me curious , and i modified your script a bit - turns out after the 127.

I would guess that your system mostly fails becauseit cannot handle the allocation of the "large" arrays which store:
* @bcast_own: set of bitfields (one per hard-interface) where each one counts * the number of our OGMs this orig_node rebroadcasted "back" to us (relative * to last_real_seqno). Every bitfield is BATADV_TQ_LOCAL_WINDOW_SIZE bits long. * @bcast_own_sum: sum of bcast_own
Kind regards, Sven

Looks like their could also be a different problem when your test system uses signed characters by default. Please try the patch [1] which changes the type from char/s16 to unsigned int.

Were you able to run some tests?

Would be good to have this tested because we already missed the Linux 4.15 release.
