[B.A.T.M.A.N.] WRT54G Wireless Mode setup questions.

Hello everyone!, I have a couple of question, and excuse me if they has been previously answered, but I can't find any straight answer. If I run "batmand" on a WRT54G, either running OpenWRT, Tomato, DD-WRT or similar firmware, what is the correct mode to set up the router? That is, do I leav

Re: [B.A.T.M.A.N.] a proposal

Hi Antonio - your suggestion sounds reasonable and is worth thinking about. However I think this issue will become less important with B.A.T.M.A.N.-IV since it will massively improve the routing metric. I think it is fair enough that a gateway client will unilaterally choose the gateway - the n

Re: [B.A.T.M.A.N.] translation of batman-adv

No, the batman-adv currently has a timeout for client-macs of 5 minutes. But as soon as another new ap announce the mac as his node, the old ap will recognize this, update his table (remove the client-mac) and stop announcing it. So only the new ap will keep on announcing, not both. Regards,

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] a proposal

A client node take its decision about chosing a gateway in a unilateral way, that is chosing gateway on a ranking basis (or wathever else) checking the path "node-->gateway" or "node-->hop-->gateway" (also if the second is not always preferred, chosing a poor link "node-->gateway" rather then best

hi i have a question: when a node moved from one ap to another ap, will the two aps announce this node until the "previous node" age out? - Original Message - From: "Simon Wunderlich" To: "The list for a Better Approach To Mobile Ad-hoc Networking" Sent: Friday, September 14, 2007 4:

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] running batman as non-root

Hi, I'm running batman (experimental) on a debian linux as root but want to access the debug levels (batmand -c -b -d 1) from within a apache that is not running as root. batman actually checks the user id and does not allow to run as non-root users. also when I disable the check, batman can not

Re: [B.A.T.M.A.N.] translation of batman-adv

Hey, Yes we thought about that too (actually that was my first idea), but this might lead to inconsitency as not all hosts will get an update when a node moves but only those nodes which are on the way. Furthermore the packet reading (and cache updating) increases latency to forwarding. A soluti

Re: [B.A.T.M.A.N.] translation of batman-adv

hi! but 1 second delay is too long to some real-time applications. i have look insight the batman-adv code. caching source host's mac and originater's mac when batman node forwards a packet maybe is better way - Original Message - From: "Simon Wunderlich" To: "The list for a Better Ap

Re: [B.A.T.M.A.N.] translation of batman-adv

Hey, i tested this today (and fixed a 2 bugs regarding this ;), and that works. I used the same setup as you described, and when reassociating it kept pinging ... :) The host-announcements for the bridging are sent with the batman-packets, and it takes 1 second maximum for the ap node to make the
