  13         default y
  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.

  62         default y
  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.

  73           Enable this to export routing related debug tables via debugfs.
  74           The information for each soft-interface and used hard-interface can be
  75           found under batman_adv/
  76
  77           If unsure, say N.

  81         depends on PACKAGE_kmod-batman-adv
  82         help
  83           This is an option for use by developers; most people should
  84           say N here. This enables compilation of support for
  85           outputting debugging information to the debugfs log or tracing
  86           buffer. The output is controlled via the batadv netdev specific
  87           log_level setting.

  94           Say Y here if you want to enable batman-adv device configuration and
  95           status interface through sysfs attributes. It is replaced by the
  96           batadv generic netlink family but still used by various userspace
  97           tools and scripts.
  98
  99           If unsure, say Y.

 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.
