| 23 | This option enables the B.A.T.M.A.N. V protocol, the successor |
| 24 | of the currently used B.A.T.M.A.N. IV protocol. The main |
| 25 | changes include splitting of the OGM protocol into a neighbor |
| 26 | discovery protocol (Echo Location Protocol, ELP) and a new OGM |
| 27 | Protocol OGMv2 for flooding protocol information through the |
| 28 | network, as well as a throughput based metric. |
| 29 | B.A.T.M.A.N. V is currently considered experimental and not |
| 30 | compatible to B.A.T.M.A.N. IV networks. |

| 37 | This option enables BLA (Bridge Loop Avoidance), a mechanism |
| 38 | to avoid Ethernet frames looping when mesh nodes are connected |
| 39 | to both the same LAN and the same mesh. If you will never use |
| 40 | more than one mesh node in the same LAN, you can safely remove |
| 41 | this feature and save some space. |

| 58 | This option enables network coding, a mechanism that aims to |
| 59 | increase the overall network throughput by fusing multiple |
| 60 | packets in one transmission. |
| 61 | Note that interfaces controlled by batman-adv must be manually |
| 62 | configured to have promiscuous mode enabled in order to make |
| 63 | network coding work. |
| 64 | If you think that your network does not need this feature you |
| 65 | can safely disable it and save some space. |
