BATMAN-ADV ----------

-The kernel implementation of batman-advanced. It does not depend on any network -driver, and can be used on wifi as well as ethernet, vpn, etc ... (anything -with ethernet-style layer 2). +Batman-advanced is a new approach to wireless networking which does no longer +operate on the IP basis. Unlike B.A.T.M.A.N, which exchanges information +using UDP packets and sets routing tables, batman-advanced operates on ISO/OSI +Layer 2 only and uses and routes (or better: bridges) Ethernet Frames. It +emulates a virtual network switch of all nodes participating. Therefore all +nodes appear to be link local, thus all higher operating protocols won't be +affected by any changes within the network. You can run almost any protocol +above B.A.T.M.A.N. Advanced, prominent examples are: IPv4, IPv6, DHCP, IPX. + +This is batman-advanced implemented as Linux kernel driver. It does not depend +on any network (other) driver, and can be used on wifi as well as ethernet, +vpn, etc ... (anything with ethernet-style layer 2). It compiles against and should work with Linux 2.6.20 - 2.6.31. Supporting older versions is not planned, but it's probably easy to backport it. If you work on a backport, feel free to contact us. :-) @@ -53,18 +62,54 @@ as VIS-server:

+Each node is either configured as "server" or as "client" (default: +"client"). Clients send their topology data to the server next to them, +and server synchronize with other servers. If there is no server +configured (default) within the mesh, no topology information will be +transmitted. With these "synchronizing servers", there can be 1 or +more vis servers sharing the same (or at least very similar) data. + When configured as server, you can get a topology snapshot of your mesh:

# cat /proc/net/batman-adv/vis

Therefore the common diagnosis tools do not work as +expected. To overcome these problems batctl was created.
