It allows manually enabling a split-horizon +like behaviour for the layer 2 multicast payload frames, in that +incoming multicast payload frames on such a hard interface are only +being rebroadcasted on all interfaces except the incoming one instead +of being rebroadcasted on all interfaces. + +Such an option should only be enabled if you are certain that these +rebroadcasts are unnecessary. This is usually the case for instance +for point-to-point wifi longshots or wired links. + +This option can especially safe a significant amount of upload overhead +if the neighbourhood on a link is rather large, for instance in some +transitive, symmetric VPN configurations. + +Using this option wrongly will break your mesh network, use this option +wisely and at your own risk! + +Signed-off-by: Linus Lüssing <linus.luessing@web.de> +--- + .../ABI/testing/sysfs-class-net-batman-adv | 11 ++++ + net/batman-adv/hard-interface.c | 2 + + net/batman-adv/send.c | 4 ++ + net/batman-adv/sysfs.c | 59 ++++++++++++++++++++++ + net/batman-adv/types.h | 1 + + 5 files changed, 77 insertions(+) + +diff --git a/Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-class-net-batman-adv b/Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-class-net-batman-adv +index 518f6a1..896c480 100644 +--- a/Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-class-net-batman-adv ++++ b/Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-class-net-batman-adv +@@ -28,3 +28,14 @@ Description: + The /sys/class/net/<iface>/batman-adv/mesh_iface file + displays the batman mesh interface this <iface> + currently is associated with. ++ ++What: /sys/class/net/<iface>/batman-adv/no_rebroadcast ++Date: Sep 2013 ++Contact: Linus Lüssing <linus.luessing@web.de> ++Description: ++ With this option set incoming multicast payload frames on ++ <iface> are not being rebroadcasted on <iface> again.
