The current translation table state is represented by the tt version number that is propagated in the mesh. +In particular, RPNXW are flags which bear the following meanings: +* R/Roaming: this client moved to another node but it is still kept for consistency reasons until the next OGM is sent. +* P/noPurge: this client represents the local soft interface and will never be deleted. +* N/New: this client has recently been added but is not advertised in the mesh until the next OGM is sent (for consistency reasons). +* X/delete: this client has to be removed for some reason, but it is still kept for consistency reasons until the next OGM is sent. +* W/Wireless: this client is connected to the node through a wireless device. + Note: Every batman node announces at least one mac address - the mac of the batX interface.
