Linus Lüssing 1d8ab8d3c1 batman-adv: Modified forwarding behaviour for multicast packets
With this patch a multicast packet is not always simply flooded anymore,
the behaviour for the following cases is changed to reduce
unnecessary overhead:

If all nodes within the horizon of a certain node have signalized
multicast listener announcement capability then an IPv6 multicast packet
with a destination of IPv6 link-local scope (excluding ff02::1) coming
from the upstream of this node...

* ...is dropped if there is no according multicast listener in the
  translation table,
* ...is forwarded via unicast if there is a single node with interested
  multicast listeners
* ...and otherwise still gets flooded.

What: /sys/class/net/<mesh_iface>/mesh/aggregated_ogms
Date: May 2010
Contact: Marek Lindner <mareklindner@neomailbox.ch>
Description:
Indicates whether the batman protocol messages of the
mesh <mesh_iface> shall be aggregated or not.
What: /sys/class/net/<mesh_iface>/mesh/<vlan_subdir>/ap_isolation
Date: May 2011
Contact: Antonio Quartulli <antonio@meshcoding.com>
Description:
Indicates whether the data traffic going from a
wireless client to another wireless client will be
silently dropped. <vlan_subdir> is empty when referring
to the untagged lan.
What: /sys/class/net/<mesh_iface>/mesh/bonding
Date: June 2010
Contact: Simon Wunderlich <sw@simonwunderlich.de>
Description:
Indicates whether the data traffic going through the
mesh will be sent using multiple interfaces at the
same time (if available).
What: /sys/class/net/<mesh_iface>/mesh/bridge_loop_avoidance
Date: November 2011
Contact: Simon Wunderlich <sw@simonwunderlich.de>
Description:
Indicates whether the bridge loop avoidance feature
is enabled. This feature detects and avoids loops
between the mesh and devices bridged with the soft
interface <mesh_iface>.
What: /sys/class/net/<mesh_iface>/mesh/fragmentation
Date: October 2010
Contact: Andreas Langer <an.langer@gmx.de>
Description:
Indicates whether the data traffic going through the
mesh will be fragmented or silently discarded if the
packet size exceeds the outgoing interface MTU.
What: /sys/class/net/<mesh_iface>/mesh/gw_bandwidth
Date: October 2010
Contact: Marek Lindner <mareklindner@neomailbox.ch>
Description:
Defines the bandwidth which is propagated by this
node if gw_mode was set to 'server'.
What: /sys/class/net/<mesh_iface>/mesh/gw_mode
Date: October 2010
Contact: Marek Lindner <mareklindner@neomailbox.ch>
Description:
Defines the state of the gateway features. Can be
either 'off', 'client' or 'server'.
What: /sys/class/net/<mesh_iface>/mesh/gw_sel_class
Date: October 2010
Contact: Marek Lindner <mareklindner@neomailbox.ch>
Description:
Defines the selection criteria this node will use
to choose a gateway if gw_mode was set to 'client'.
What: /sys/class/net/<mesh_iface>/mesh/hop_penalty
Date: Oct 2010
Contact: Linus Lüssing <linus.luessing@web.de>
Description:
Defines the penalty which will be applied to an
originator message's tq-field on every hop.
What: /sys/class/net/<mesh_iface>/mesh/isolation_mark
Date: Nov 2013
Contact: Antonio Quartulli <antonio@meshcoding.com>
Description:
Defines the isolation mark (and its bitmask) which
is used to classify clients as "isolated" by the
Extended Isolation feature.
What: /sys/class/net/<mesh_iface>/mesh/multicast_mode
Date: Feb 2014
Contact: Linus Lüssing <linus.luessing@web.de>
Description:
Indicates whether multicast optimizations are enabled
or disabled. If set to zero then all nodes in the
mesh are going to use classic flooding for any
multicast packet with no optimizations.
What: /sys/class/net/<mesh_iface>/mesh/network_coding
Date: Nov 2012
Contact: Martin Hundeboll <martin@hundeboll.net>
Description:
Controls whether Network Coding (using some magic
to send fewer wifi packets but still the same
content) is enabled or not.
What: /sys/class/net/<mesh_iface>/mesh/orig_interval
Date: May 2010
Contact: Marek Lindner <mareklindner@neomailbox.ch>
Description:
Defines the interval in milliseconds in which batman
sends its protocol messages.
What: /sys/class/net/<mesh_iface>/mesh/routing_algo
Date: Dec 2011
Contact: Marek Lindner <mareklindner@neomailbox.ch>
Description:
Defines the routing procotol this mesh instance
uses to find the optimal paths through the mesh.
