| 12 | B.A.T.M.A.N. (better approach to mobile ad-hoc networking) is | |
| 13 | a routing protocol for multi-hop ad-hoc mesh networks. The | |
| 14 | networks may be wired or wireless. See | |
| 7b5e7396 | 15 | https://www.open-mesh.org/ for more information and user space |
| 10e3cd6a | 16 | tools. |

| 23 | This option enables the B.A.T.M.A.N. V protocol, the successor | |
| 24 | of the currently used B.A.T.M.A.N. IV protocol. The main | |
| 25 | changes include splitting of the OGM protocol into a neighbor | |
| 26 | discovery protocol (Echo Location Protocol, ELP) and a new OGM | |
| 27 | Protocol OGMv2 for flooding protocol information through the | |
| 28 | network, as well as a throughput based metric. | |
| 29 | B.A.T.M.A.N. V is currently considered experimental and not | |
| 30 | compatible to B.A.T.M.A.N. IV networks. | |

| 37 | This option enables BLA (Bridge Loop Avoidance), a mechanism | |
| 38 | to avoid Ethernet frames looping when mesh nodes are connected | |
| 39 | to both the same LAN and the same mesh. If you will never use | |
| 40 | more than one mesh node in the same LAN, you can safely remove | |
| 41 | this feature and save some space. | |

| 48 | This option enables DAT (Distributed ARP Table), a DHT based | |
| 49 | mechanism that increases ARP reliability on sparse wireless | |
| 50 | mesh networks. If you think that your network does not need | |
| 51 | this option you can safely remove it and save some space. | |

| 56 | default n | |
| 57 | help | |
| 58 | This option enables network coding, a mechanism that aims to | |
| 59 | increase the overall network throughput by fusing multiple | |
| 60 | packets in one transmission. | |
| 61 | Note that interfaces controlled by batman-adv must be manually | |
| 62 | configured to have promiscuous mode enabled in order to make | |
| 63 | network coding work. | |
| 64 | If you think that your network does not need this feature you | |
| 65 | can safely disable it and save some space. | |

92 | This is an option for use by developers; most people should |
| 93 | say N here. This enables compilation of support for | |
| 94 | outputting debugging information to the kernel log. The | |
| 95 | output is controlled via the module parameter debug. |
