Well, no. :) Have you checked that the problem is really with batman and not with a layer below (I don't know how you interconnect your VMs, wirefilter/bridges/etc)? You can check using tcpdump on the interface batman is using and see if you have any incoming packets of other nodes. If not, there is most probably something wrong with the interconnect. > > Moreover, I have found a wonderful documention here : > http://gitorious.org/batman-adv-doc.

Well yeah, this documentation is pretty old. I'd suggest to read http://downloads.open-mesh.org/batman/papers/batman-adv_network_coding.pdf which has a nice and (quite) up-to-date introduction to batman-adv included. Furthermore, we try to keep the Wiki as much up to date as possible, if there is something missing feel free to ask. Cheers, Simon
