Linus Lüssing 1d8ab8d3c1 batman-adv: Modified forwarding behaviour for multicast packets
With this patch a multicast packet is not always simply flooded anymore,
the behaviour for the following cases is changed to reduce
unnecessary overhead:

If all nodes within the horizon of a certain node have signalized
multicast listener announcement capability then an IPv6 multicast packet
with a destination of IPv6 link-local scope (excluding ff02::1) coming
from the upstream of this node...

* ...is dropped if there is no according multicast listener in the
  translation table,
* ...is forwarded via unicast if there is a single node with interested
  multicast listeners
* ...and otherwise still gets flooded.

What: /sys/class/net/<mesh_iface>/mesh/aggregated_ogms Date: May 2010 Contact: Marek Lindner mareklindner@neomailbox.ch Description: Indicates whether the batman protocol messages of the mesh <mesh_iface> shall be aggregated or not.

What: /sys/class/net/<mesh_iface>/mesh/<vlan_subdir>/ap_isolation Date: May 2011 Contact: Antonio Quartulli antonio@meshcoding.com Description: Indicates whether the data traffic going from a wireless client to another wireless client will be silently dropped. <vlan_subdir> is empty when referring to the untagged lan.

What: /sys/class/net/<mesh_iface>/mesh/bonding Date: June 2010 Contact: Simon Wunderlich sw@simonwunderlich.de Description: Indicates whether the data traffic going through the mesh will be sent using multiple interfaces at the same time (if available).

What: /sys/class/net/<mesh_iface>/mesh/bridge_loop_avoidance Date: November 2011 Contact: Simon Wunderlich sw@simonwunderlich.de Description: Indicates whether the bridge loop avoidance feature is enabled. This feature detects and avoids loops between the mesh and devices bridged with the soft interface <mesh_iface>.

What: /sys/class/net/<mesh_iface>/mesh/fragmentation Date: October 2010 Contact: Andreas Langer an.langer@gmx.de Description: Indicates whether the data traffic going through the mesh will be fragmented or silently discarded if the packet size exceeds the outgoing interface MTU.

What: /sys/class/net/<mesh_iface>/mesh/gw_bandwidth Date: October 2010 Contact: Marek Lindner mareklindner@neomailbox.ch Description: Defines the bandwidth which is propagated by this node if gw_mode was set to 'server'.

What: /sys/class/net/<mesh_iface>/mesh/gw_mode Date: October 2010 Contact: Marek Lindner mareklindner@neomailbox.ch Description: Defines the state of the gateway features. Can be either 'off', 'client' or 'server'.

What: /sys/class/net/<mesh_iface>/mesh/gw_sel_class Date: October 2010 Contact: Marek Lindner mareklindner@neomailbox.ch Description: Defines the selection criteria this node will use to choose a gateway if gw_mode was set to 'client'.

What: /sys/class/net/<mesh_iface>/mesh/hop_penalty Date: Oct 2010 Contact: Linus Lüssing linus.luessing@web.de Description: Defines the penalty which will be applied to an originator message's tq-field on every hop.

What: /sys/class/net/<mesh_iface>/mesh/isolation_mark Date: Nov 2013 Contact: Antonio Quartulli antonio@meshcoding.com Description: Defines the isolation mark (and its bitmask) which is used to classify clients as "isolated" by the Extended Isolation feature.

What: /sys/class/net/<mesh_iface>/mesh/multicast_mode Date: Feb 2014 Contact: Linus Lüssing linus.luessing@web.de Description: Indicates whether multicast optimizations are enabled or disabled. If set to zero then all nodes in the mesh are going to use classic flooding for any multicast packet with no optimizations.

What: /sys/class/net/<mesh_iface>/mesh/network_coding Date: Nov 2012 Contact: Martin Hundeboll martin@hundeboll.net Description: Controls whether Network Coding (using some magic to send fewer wifi packets but still the same content) is enabled or not.

What: /sys/class/net/<mesh_iface>/mesh/orig_interval Date: May 2010 Contact: Marek Lindner mareklindner@neomailbox.ch Description: Defines the interval in milliseconds in which batman sends its protocol messages.

What: /sys/class/net/<mesh_iface>/mesh/routing_algo Date: Dec 2011 Contact: Marek Lindner mareklindner@neomailbox.ch Description: Defines the routing procotol this mesh instance uses to find the optimal paths through the mesh.
