-However when splitting like this then such the splitting node does not know the best sorting into these m packets. Another node will likely later need to split again due to different next hops for the destinations in a packet. +-However when splitting like this then such the splitting node does not know the best sorting into these m packets.

-A batman-adv node currently cannot anticipate this for optimized splitting, as it does not know the full topology. Which would potentially lead to more transmissions than necessary. +-A batman-adv node currently cannot anticipate this for optimized splitting, as it does not know the full topology.
