Unlike B.A.T.M.A.N, which exchanges +information using UDP packets and sets routing tables, batman-advanced operates +on ISO/OSI Layer 2 only and uses and routes (or better: bridges) Ethernet Frames. +It emulates a virtual network switch of all nodes participating. Therefore all nodes +appear to be link local, thus all higher operating protocols won't be affected +by any changes within the network. You can run almost any protocol above B.A.T.M.A.N. +Advanced, prominent examples are: IPv4, IPv6, DHCP, IPX. + +=== Pros and Cons === +Pros: + * supports any Ethernet-capable protocol (IPv4, IPv6, ARP, DHCP ...) + * no manual IP assignment, just use DHCP + * easy integration of attached networks (no manual HNA fiddling), just put the bat0 in the bridge with your other devices. You can for example build a roaming network of Access Points with this technique. + * Not affected by your Firewall (but you can secure the payload traffic, of course) +Cons: + * no gateway handling. +=== battools === + +Since the nodes participating in the B.A.T.M.A.N. Advanced switch are +completely transparent for all protocols above layer 2, we needed to build +our own diagnostic tools, the battools. These tools contain a layer 2 version +of ping, traceroute and tcpdump. Further information can be found in the +enclosed README file. + +=== Userland vs Kernelland === + +The userland implementation of batman-advanced was a proof of concept implementation to verify that the concept is +working. Unfortunately, switching packets in userland is very expensive in terms of cycles, as each packet has to be +read() and write() to the kernel and back, which limits the sustainable bandwidth especially on low-end devices. +To have good support for these devices as well, we implemented batman-adv as a kernel driver, which is now the +preferred version. It can be controlled via the /proc file system and works transparently, offering the same service +and being compatible to the userland version. + +=== Documentation === + +We're working on it. No, really ;). + +=== Get it === + +see the [wiki:Download] page \ No newline at end of file

Every packet that goes to the internet or comes back has to go through this tunnel. As it is a user space tunnel a lot of copying between user space and kernel land is necessary. Depending on the number of clients and the CPU power available this might be a bottleneck. +The batgat kernel module tries to overcome this limitation. Once loaded the batman daemon will detect its presence automatically on startup. The daemon will activate the kernel module to let it handle the tunneling, hence avoiding the expensive copy operations. There is no difference between the daemon tunneling and the kernel tunneling other than that.
