Batman offers to announce the avaibility of an internet connection. You can use the gateway class option (-g down/up) to tell batman how much bandwidth is available. You can specify the download and upload speed - batman will choose the nearest gateway class to represent your speed and propagate it in the network. The following examples should illustrate the usage:

You can tell batman to watch out for announced gateways and connect to them via the routing class option (-r). This option allows you to influence which gateway will be chosen. Currently, there are 3 modes available:

To be more flexible and better integrate into different setups and environments batman has a runtime interface which you can connect to. You can change batmans behaviour on the fly and adapt to changing requirements.
