+Note:+ batman-adv inserts an additional header of 32 bytes into each data packet being send over the mesh. Therefore we are increasing the maximum size of a packet over the plain interfaces to 1532, so that packets with the standard MTU of 1500 can pass normaly through bat0. You might also decrease the MTU to 1468 on all hosts but is usually just do-able in more or less static- and small-scaled mesh-networks.
