| help |
| B.A.T.M.A.N. (better approach to mobile ad-hoc networking) is |
| a routing protocol for multi-hop ad-hoc mesh networks. The |
| networks may be wired or wireless. See |
| http://www.open-mesh.org/ for more information and user space |
| tools. |

| config BATMAN_ADV_BLA |
| bool "Bridge Loop Avoidance" |
| depends on BATMAN_ADV && INET |
| default y |
| help |
| This option enables BLA (Bridge Loop Avoidance), a mechanism |
| to avoid Ethernet frames looping when mesh nodes are connected |
| to both the same LAN and the same mesh. If you will never use |
| more than one mesh node in the same LAN, you can safely remove |
| this feature and save some space. |

| config BATMAN_ADV_DAT |
| bool "Distributed ARP Table" |
| depends on BATMAN_ADV && INET |
| default n |
| help |
| This option enables DAT (Distributed ARP Table), a DHT based |
| mechanism that increases ARP reliability on sparse wireless |
| mesh networks. If you think that your network does not need |
| this option you can safely remove it and save some space. |
| |
| config BATMAN_ADV_NC |
| bool "Network Coding" |
| depends on BATMAN_ADV |
| default n |
| help |
| This option enables network coding, a mechanism that aims to |
| increase the overall network throughput by fusing multiple |
| packets in one transmission. |
| Note that interfaces controlled by batman-adv must be manually |
| configured to have promiscuous mode enabled in order to make |
| network coding work. |
| If you think that your network does not need this feature you |
| can safely disable it and save some space. |

| config BATMAN_ADV_MCAST |
| bool "Multicast optimisation" |
| depends on BATMAN_ADV |
| default n |
| help |
| This option enables the multicast optimisation which aims to |
| reduce the air overhead while improving the reliability of |
| multicast messages. |
| |
| config BATMAN_ADV_DEBUG |
| bool "B.A.T.M.A.N. debugging" |
| depends on BATMAN_ADV |
| help |
| This is an option for use by developers; most people should |
| say N here. This enables compilation of support for |
| outputting debugging information to the kernel log. The |
| output is controlled via the module parameter debug. |
