Hi folks, after having the B.A.T.M.A.N. IV routing code moved into one single file, a preliminary routing protocol API and an easy to use routing protocol switch it is time to move forward with B.A.T.M.A.N. V.
B.A.T.M.A.N. V is going to split the various tasks handled by the B.A.T.M.A.N. IV OGM protocol into subprotocols which will allow us to optimize each protocol much better. The ELP protocol is the first of these subprotocols to come. The initial ideas surrounding this protocol type are more than 2-3 years old. At some point Linus was the driving force behind the protocol development. Thanks to him we have proper documentation[1] as well as some code in his repository[2] (still called ndp). I began rebasing and integrating his code [3]. It will take a couple of patch series to get the API and the old ELP code base into shape.
