* batman-adv: decrease maximum fragment sizeMatthias Schiffer2017-05-231-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With this patch the maximum fragment size is reduced from 1400 to 1280 bytes. Fragmentation v2 correctly uses the smaller of 1400 and the interface MTU, thus generally supporting interfaces with an MTU < 1400 bytes, too. However, currently "Fragmentation v2" does not support re-fragmentation. Which means that once a packet is split into two packets of 1400 + x bytes for instance and the next hop provides an interface with an even smaller MTU of 1280 bytes, then the larger fragment is lost. A maximum fragment size of 1280 bytes is a safer option as this is the minimum MTU required by IPv6, making interfaces with an MTU < 1280 rather exotic. Regarding performance, this should have no negative impact on unicast traffic: Having some more bytes in the smaller and some less in the larger does not change the sum of both fragments. Concerning TT, choosing 1280 bytes fragments might result in more TT messages than necessary when a large network is bridged into batman-adv. However, the TT overhead in general is marginal due to its reactive nature, therefore such a performance impact on TT should not be noticeable for a user.

* batman-adv: Use own timer for multicast TT and TVLV updatesLinus Lüssing2016-10-301-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of latching onto the OGM period, this patch introduces a worker dedicated to multicast TT and TVLV updates. The reasoning is, that upon roaming especially the translation table should be updated timely to minimize connectivity issues. With BATMAN V, the idea is to greatly increase the OGM interval to reduce overhead. Unfortunately, right now this could lead to a bad user experience if multicast traffic is involved. Therefore this patch introduces a fixed 500ms update interval for multicast TT entries and the multicast TVLV.

* batman-adv: throughput meter implementationAntonio Quartulli2016-07-041-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The throughput meter module is a simple, kernel-space replacement for throughtput measurements tool like iperf and netperf. It is intended to approximate TCP behaviour. It is invoked through batctl: the protocol is connection oriented, with cumulative acknowledgment and a dynamic-size sliding window. The test *can* be interrupted by batctl. A receiver side timeout avoids unlimited waitings for sender packets: after one second of inactivity, the receiver abort the ongoing test.

* batman-adv: add detection for complex bridge loopsSimon Wunderlich2016-05-101-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are network setups where the current bridge loop avoidance can't detect bridge loops. The minimal setup affected would consist of two LANs and two separate meshes, connected in a ring like that: A...(mesh1)...B | | (LAN1) (LAN2) | | C...(mesh2)...D Since both the meshes and backbones are separate, the bridge loop avoidance has not enough information to detect and avoid the loop in this case. Even if these scenarios can't be fixed easily, these kind of loops can be detected. This patch implements a periodic check (running every 60 seconds for now) which sends a broadcast frame with a random MAC address on each backbone VLAN. If a broadcast frame with the same MAC address is received shortly after on the mesh, we know that there must be a loop and report that incident as well as throw an uevent to let others handle that problem.

* batman-adv: ELP - send unicast ELP packets for throughput samplingAntonio Quartulli2016-02-291-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | In case of an unused wireless link, the mac80211 throughput estimation won't get updated further. Consequently, the reported throughput metric will become obsolete. With this patch unicast sampling is introduced by periodically sending unicast ELP packets to each neighbor on idle WiFi links.

* batman-adv: ELP - compute the metric based on the estimated throughputAntonio Quartulli2016-02-291-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In case of wireless interface retrieve the throughput by querying cfg80211. To perform this call a separate work must be scheduled because the function may sleep and this is not allowed within an RCU protected context (RCU in this case is used to iterate over all the neighbours). Use ethtool to retrieve information about an Ethernet link like HALF/FULL_DUPLEX and advertised bandwidth (e.g. 100/10Mbps). The metric is updated each time a new ELP packet is sent, this way it is possible to timely react to a metric variation which can imply (for example) a neighbour disconnection.

* batman-adv: OGMv2 - add basic infrastructureAntonio Quartulli2016-02-291-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is the initial implementation of the new OGM protocol (version 2). It has been designed to work on top of the newly added ELP. In the previous version the OGM protocol was used to both measure link qualities and flood the network with the metric information. In this version the protocol is in charge of the latter task only, leaving the former to ELP. This means being able to decouple the interval used by the neighbor discovery from the OGM broadcasting, which revealed to be costly in dense networks and needed to be relaxed so leading to a less responsive routing protocol.

* batman-adv: Add required includes to all filesSven Eckelmann2015-06-071-16/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The header files could not be build indepdent from each other. This is happened because headers didn't include the files for things they've used. This was problematic because the success of a build depended on the knowledge about the right order of local includes. Also source files were not including everything they've used explicitly. Instead they required that transitive includes are always stable. This is problematic because some transitive includes are not obvious, depend on config settings and may not be stable in the future. The order for include blocks are: * primary headers (main.h and the *.h file of a *.c file) * global linux headers * required local headers * extra forward declarations for pointers in function/struct declarations The only exceptions are linux/bitops.h and linux/if_ether.h in packet.h. This header file is shared with userspace applications like batctl and must therefore build together with userspace applications. The header linux/bitops.h is not part of the uapi headers and linux/if_ether.h conflicts with the musl implementation of netinet/if_ether.h. The maintainers rejected the use of __KERNEL__ preprocessor checks and thus these two headers are only in main.h. All files using packet.h first have to include main.h to work correctly.
