6 tristate "B.A.T.M.A.N. Advanced Meshing Protocol"
11 B.A.T.M.A.N. (better approach to mobile ad-hoc networking) is
12 a routing protocol for multi-hop ad-hoc mesh networks. The
13 networks may be wired or wireless. See
14 http://www.open-mesh.org/ for more information and user space
18 bool "Bridge Loop Avoidance"
19 depends on BATMAN_ADV && INET
22 This option enables BLA (Bridge Loop Avoidance), a mechanism
23 to avoid Ethernet frames looping when mesh nodes are connected
24 to both the same LAN and the same mesh. If you will never use
25 more than one mesh node in the same LAN, you can safely remove
26 this feature and save some space.
29 bool "Distributed ARP Table"
30 depends on BATMAN_ADV && INET
33 This option enables DAT (Distributed ARP Table), a DHT based
34 mechanism that increases ARP reliability on sparse wireless
35 mesh networks. If you think that your network does not need
36 this option you can safely remove it and save some space.
43 This option enables network coding, a mechanism that aims to
44 increase the overall network throughput by fusing multiple
45 packets in one transmission.
46 Note that interfaces controlled by batman-adv must be manually
47 configured to have promiscuous mode enabled in order to make
49 If you think that your network does not need this feature you
50 can safely disable it and save some space.
52 config BATMAN_ADV_DEBUG
53 bool "B.A.T.M.A.N. debugging"
56 This is an option for use by developers; most people should
57 say N here. This enables compilation of support for
58 outputting debugging information to the kernel log. The
59 output is controlled via the module parameter debug.
