  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
  15           https://www.open-mesh.org/ for more information and user space
  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.

  36         help
  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.

  43 config BATMAN_ADV_DAT
  44         bool "Distributed ARP Table"

  46         default n
  47         help
  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.

  53 config BATMAN_ADV_NC
  54         bool "Network Coding"
  55         depends on BATMAN_ADV
  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.

  67 config BATMAN_ADV_MCAST
  68         bool "Multicast optimisation"

  70         default n
  71         help
  72           This option enables the multicast optimisation which aims to
  73           reduce the air overhead while improving the reliability of
  74           multicast messages.

  82           Enable this to export routing related debug tables via debugfs.
  83           The information for each soft-interface and used hard-interface can be
  84           found under batman_adv/
  85
  86           If unsure, say Y.

  90         depends on BATMAN_ADV_DEBUGFS
  91         help
  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.
