Subject: [PATCH 1/2] batman-adv: introduce 'no_rebroadcast' option
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
This patch introduces a new sysfs option named "no_rebroadcast" on
a per hard interface basis. 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!
