22config BATMAN_ADV

24	depends on NET
25	select LIBCRC32C
26	help
27          B.A.T.M.A.N. (better approach to mobile ad-hoc networking) is
28          a routing protocol for multi-hop ad-hoc mesh networks. The
29          networks may be wired or wireless. See
30          https://www.open-mesh.org/ for more information and user space
31          tools.

33config BATMAN_ADV_BATMAN_V
34	bool "B.A.T.M.A.N. V protocol"
35	depends on BATMAN_ADV && !(CFG80211=m && BATMAN_ADV=y)
36	default y
37	help
38	  This option enables the B.A.T.M.A.N. V protocol, the successor
39	  of the currently used B.A.T.M.A.N. IV protocol. The main
40	  changes include splitting of the OGM protocol into a neighbor
41	  discovery protocol (Echo Location Protocol, ELP) and a new OGM
42	  Protocol OGMv2 for flooding protocol information through the
43	  network, as well as a throughput based metric.
44	  B.A.T.M.A.N. V is currently considered experimental and not
45	  compatible to B.A.T.M.A.N. IV networks.

47config BATMAN_ADV_BLA
48	bool "Bridge Loop Avoidance"
49	depends on BATMAN_ADV && INET
50	select CRC16
51	default y
52	help
53	  This option enables BLA (Bridge Loop Avoidance), a mechanism
54	  to avoid Ethernet frames looping when mesh nodes are connected
55	  to both the same LAN and the same mesh. If you will never use
56	  more than one mesh node in the same LAN, you can safely remove
57	  this feature and save some space.
58
59config BATMAN_ADV_DAT
60	bool "Distributed ARP Table"
61	depends on BATMAN_ADV && INET
62	default y
63	help
64	  This option enables DAT (Distributed ARP Table), a DHT based
65	  mechanism that increases ARP reliability on sparse wireless
66	  mesh networks. If you think that your network does not need
67	  this option you can safely remove it and save some space.
68
69config BATMAN_ADV_NC
70	bool "Network Coding"
71	depends on BATMAN_ADV
72	help
73	  This option enables network coding, a mechanism that aims to
74	  increase the overall network throughput by fusing multiple
75	  packets in one transmission.
76	  Note that interfaces controlled by batman-adv must be manually
77	  configured to have promiscuous mode enabled in order to make
78	  network coding work.
79	  If you think that your network does not need this feature you
80	  can safely disable it and save some space.
81
82config BATMAN_ADV_MCAST
83	bool "Multicast optimisation"
84	depends on BATMAN_ADV && INET && !(BRIDGE=m && BATMAN_ADV=y)
85	default y
86	help
87	  This option enables the multicast optimisation which aims to
88	  reduce the air overhead while improving the reliability of
89	  multicast messages.
90
91config BATMAN_ADV_DEBUGFS
92	bool "batman-adv debugfs entries"
93	depends on BATMAN_ADV
94	depends on DEBUG_FS
95	help
96	  Enable this to export routing related debug tables via debugfs.
97	  The information for each soft-interface and used hard-interface can be
98	  found under batman_adv/
99
100	  If unsure, say N.
101
102config BATMAN_ADV_DEBUG
103	bool "B.A.T.M.A.N. debugging"
104	depends on BATMAN_ADV
105	help
106	  This is an option for use by developers; most people should
107	  say N here. This enables compilation of support for
108	  outputting debugging information to the debugfs log or tracing
109	  buffer. The output is controlled via the batadv netdev specific
110	  log_level setting.
111
112config BATMAN_ADV_TRACING
113	bool "B.A.T.M.A.N. tracing support"
114	depends on BATMAN_ADV
115	depends on EVENT_TRACING
116	help
117	  This is an option for use by developers; most people should
118	  say N here. Select this option to gather traces like the debug
119	  messages using the generic tracing infrastructure of the kernel.
120	  BATMAN_ADV_DEBUG must also be selected to get trace events for
121	  batadv_dbg.
