  14         help
  15           This option enables the B.A.T.M.A.N. V protocol, the successor
  16           of the currently used B.A.T.M.A.N. IV protocol. The main
  17           changes include splitting of the OGM protocol into a neighbor
  18           discovery protocol (Echo Location Protocol, ELP) and a new OGM
  19           Protocol OGMv2 for flooding protocol information through the
  20           network, as well as a throughput based metric.
  21           B.A.T.M.A.N. V is currently considered experimental and not
  22           compatible to B.A.T.M.A.N. IV networks.

  28         default y
  29         help
  30           This option enables BLA (Bridge Loop Avoidance), a mechanism
  31           to avoid Ethernet frames looping when mesh nodes are connected
  32           to both the same LAN and the same mesh. If you will never use
  33           more than one mesh node in the same LAN, you can safely remove
  34           this feature and save some space.

  39         default y
  40         help
  41           This option enables DAT (Distributed ARP Table), a DHT based
  42           mechanism that increases ARP reliability on sparse wireless
  43           mesh networks. If you think that your network does not need
  44           this option you can safely remove it and save some space.

  47         bool "Network Coding"
  48         depends on PACKAGE_kmod-batman-adv
  49         help
  50           This option enables network coding, a mechanism that aims to
  51           increase the overall network throughput by fusing multiple
  52           packets in one transmission.
  53           Note that interfaces controlled by batman-adv must be manually
  54           configured to have promiscuous mode enabled in order to make
  55           network coding work.
  56           If you think that your network does not need this feature you
  57           can safely disable it and save some space.

  63         help
  64           This option enables the multicast optimisation which aims to
  65           reduce the air overhead while improving the reliability of
  66           multicast messages.

  71         help
  72           This is an option for use by developers; most people should
  73           say N here. This enables compilation of support for
  74           outputting debugging information to the debugfs log or tracing
  75           buffer. The output is controlled via the batadv netdev specific
  76           log_level setting.

  84           This is an option for use by developers; most people should
  85           say N here. Select this option to gather traces like the debug
  86           messages using the generic tracing infrastructure of the kernel.
  87           BATMAN_ADV_DEBUG must also be selected to get trace events for
  88           batadv_dbg.
