The following commit has been merged in the batadv/net-next branch: commit 2dfe644a1ce017cacd449adabd68c3bc49199e11 Author: Linus Lüssing linus.luessing@c0d3.blue Date: Thu Sep 7 03:09:10 2023 +0200
batman-adv: mcast: shrink tracker packet after scrubbing
Remove all zero MAC address entries (00:00:00:00:00:00) from a multicast packet's tracker TVLV before transmitting it and update all headers accordingly. This way, instead of keeping the multicast packet at a constant size throughout its journey through the mesh, it will become more lightweight, smaller with every interested receiver on the way and on each splitting intersection. Which can save some valuable bandwidth.
