From now on you won't want to use eth0, wlan0 or bat0 for any routing anymore, instead you are just using the new bridge interface 'mesh-bridge'. Any packet our mesh access point receives over eth0 will be forwarded to bat0 because of the bridge. batman-adv will forward it through the mesh according to the destination's mac address.
+'''Note:''' Assign the IP Address to mesh-bridge in this case, not bat0. + For the MTU-part have a look at the note above.
''(How does batman-adv know where it has to send a data packet of an external computer, that is not using batman-adv, to another computer that is not using batman-adv either? It is automatically listening on bat0 and will keep track of any host mac address passing by this interface. Those host's mac addresses will then be announced to other batman-adv nodes in the mesh network automatically - so called HNA messages - so that every batman-adv node is going to know behind which other batman-adv node it can find which mac addresses.)''
