From: Sven Eckelmann <sven.eckelmann(a)open-mesh.com&gt; Complex bridge loop detection was added to batman-adv. It uses so called BLA LOOPDETECT ARP packets to find out if there is a loop. The bla2 claim function of tcpdump extracts the same information which also batadv_bla_send_claim uses for its debug output.
