  22 config BATMAN_ADV_BATMAN_V
  23         bool "B.A.T.M.A.N. V protocol"
  24         depends on PACKAGE_kmod-batman-adv
  25         default y
  26         help
  27           This option enables the B.A.T.M.A.N. V protocol, the successor
  28           of the currently used B.A.T.M.A.N. IV protocol. The main
  29           changes include splitting of the OGM protocol into a neighbor
  30           discovery protocol (Echo Location Protocol, ELP) and a new OGM
  31           Protocol OGMv2 for flooding protocol information through the
  32           network, as well as a throughput based metric.
  33           B.A.T.M.A.N. V is currently considered experimental and not
  34           compatible to B.A.T.M.A.N. IV networks.

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

  48 config BATMAN_ADV_DAT
  49         bool "Distributed ARP Table"
  50         depends on PACKAGE_kmod-batman-adv
  51         default y
  52         help
  53           This option enables DAT (Distributed ARP Table), a DHT based
  54           mechanism that increases ARP reliability on sparse wireless
  55           mesh networks. If you think that your network does not need
  56           this option you can safely remove it and save some space.

  59         bool "Network Coding"
  60         depends on PACKAGE_kmod-batman-adv
  61         help
  62           This option enables network coding, a mechanism that aims to
  63           increase the overall network throughput by fusing multiple
  64           packets in one transmission.
  65           Note that interfaces controlled by batman-adv must be manually
  66           configured to have promiscuous mode enabled in order to make
  67           network coding work.
  68           If you think that your network does not need this feature you
  69           can safely disable it and save some space.

  71 config BATMAN_ADV_MCAST
  72         bool "Multicast optimisation"
  73         depends on PACKAGE_kmod-batman-adv
  74         default y
  75         help
  76           This option enables the multicast optimisation which aims to
  77           reduce the air overhead while improving the reliability of
  78           multicast messages.

  84         help
  85           Enable this to export routing related debug tables via debugfs.
  86           The information for each soft-interface and used hard-interface can be
  87           found under batman_adv/
  88
  89           If unsure, say N.

  93         depends on PACKAGE_kmod-batman-adv
  94         help
  95           This is an option for use by developers; most people should
  96           say N here. This enables compilation of support for
  97           outputting debugging information to the debugfs log or tracing
  98           buffer. The output is controlled via the batadv netdev specific
  99           log_level setting.

 105         select KERNEL_ENABLE_DEFAULT_TRACERS
 106         help
 107           This is an option for use by developers; most people should
 108           say N here. Select this option to gather traces like the debug
 109           messages using the generic tracing infrastructure of the kernel.
 110           BATMAN_ADV_DEBUG must also be selected to get trace events for
 111           batadv_dbg.
