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.

37 bool "Bridge Loop Avoidance"
38 depends on PACKAGE_kmod-batman-adv

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 KMOD_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.

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

80 bool "batman-adv debugfs entries"
81 depends on PACKAGE_kmod-batman-adv
82 select KERNEL_DEBUG_FS
83 help
84 Enable this to export routing related debug tables via debugfs.
85 The information for each soft-interface and used hard-interface can be
86 found under batman_adv/
87
88 If unsure, say N.

90 config KMOD_BATMAN_ADV_DEBUG_LOG
91 bool "B.A.T.M.A.N. debugging"
92 depends on KMOD_BATMAN_ADV_DEBUGFS
93 help
94 This is an option for use by developers; most people should
95 say N here. This enables compilation of support for
96 outputting debugging information to the kernel log. The
97 output is controlled via the module parameter debug.
