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.

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.

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.

Sven Eckelmannc6c8fea2010-12-13 11:19:28 +000043 This is an option for use by developers; most people should
44 say N here. This enables compilation of support for
45 outputting debugging information to the kernel log. The
46 output is controlled via the module parameter debug.
