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

22 help
23 This option enables BLA (Bridge Loop Avoidance), a mechanism
24 to avoid Ethernet frames looping when mesh nodes are connected
25 to both the same LAN and the same mesh. If you will never use
26 more than one mesh node in the same LAN, you can safely remove
27 this feature and save some space.

32 default n
33 help
34 This option enables DAT (Distributed ARP Table), a DHT based
35 mechanism that increases ARP reliability on sparse wireless
36 mesh networks. If you think that your network does not need
37 this option you can safely remove it and save some space.

40 bool "Network Coding"
41 depends on BATMAN_ADV
42 default n
43 help
44 This option enables network coding, a mechanism that aims to
45 increase the overall network throughput by fusing multiple
46 packets in one transmission.
47 Note that interfaces controlled by batman-adv must be manually
48 configured to have promiscuous mode enabled in order to make
49 network coding work.
50 If you think that your network does not need this feature you
51 can safely disable it and save some space.

Sven Eckelmannc6c8fea2010-12-13 11:19:28 +0000[diff] [blame]67 This is an option for use by developers; most people should
68 say N here. This enables compilation of support for
69 outputting debugging information to the kernel log. The
70 output is controlled via the module parameter debug.
