  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           http://www.open-mesh.org/ for more information and user space
  16           tools.

  22         help
  23           This option enables BLA (Bridge Loop Avoidance), a mechanism
  24           to avoid Ethernet frames looping when mesh nodes are connected
  25           to both the same LAN and the same mesh. If you will never use
  26           more than one mesh node in the same LAN, you can safely remove
  27           this feature and save some space.

  29 config BATMAN_ADV_DAT
  30         bool "Distributed ARP Table"
  31         depends on BATMAN_ADV && INET
  32         default n
  33         help
  34           This option enables DAT (Distributed ARP Table), a DHT based
  35           mechanism that increases ARP reliability on sparse wireless
  36           mesh networks. If you think that your network does not need
  37           this option you can safely remove it and save some space.

  39 config BATMAN_ADV_NC
  40         bool "Network Coding"
  41         depends on BATMAN_ADV
  42         default n
  43         help
  44           This option enables network coding, a mechanism that aims to
  45           increase the overall network throughput by fusing multiple
  46           packets in one transmission.
  47           Note that interfaces controlled by batman-adv must be manually
  48           configured to have promiscuous mode enabled in order to make
  49           network coding work.
  50           If you think that your network does not need this feature you
  51           can safely disable it and save some space.

  53 config BATMAN_ADV_MCAST
  54         bool "Multicast optimisation"

  57         help
  58           This option enables the multicast optimisation which aims to
  59           reduce the air overhead while improving the reliability of
  60           multicast messages.

  65         depends on DEBUG_FS
  66         help
  67           This is an option for use by developers; most people should
  68           say N here. This enables compilation of support for
  69           outputting debugging information to the kernel log. The
  70           output is controlled via the module parameter debug.
