- -h4. Preparations for Multicast Tracker Packets (future enhancements) - -The fields _Tracker-ID_ and _MCAST Address_ will not be used in the initial implementation of the batman-adv multicast packet type. But they are in preparation for the future enhancements where control and data plane can be separated. That is where batman-adv multicast packets can also be send without _Data_ (_Multicast Tracker Packets_) and the destinations are cached on nodes on the path. And then further batman-adv multicast packets could be send with _Data_ but with a zero length TVLV, so without the destination addresses. +h4. -Preparations for Multicast Tracker Packets (future enhancements) +- +-The fields _Tracker-ID_ and _MCAST Address_ will not be used in the initial implementation of the batman-adv multicast packet type.
