      batman-adv: improved roaming mechanism · cc47f66e
      Antonio Quartulli 提交于
      With the current client announcement implementation, in case of roaming,
      an update is triggered on the new AP serving the client. At that point
      the new information is spread around by means of the OGM broadcasting
      mechanism. Until this operations is not executed, no node is able to
      correctly route traffic towards the client. This obviously causes packet
      drops and introduces a delay in the time needed by the client to recover
      its connections.
      
      A new packet type called ROAMING_ADVERTISEMENT is added to account this
      issue.
      
      This message is sent in case of roaming from the new AP serving the
      client to the old one and will contain the client MAC address. In this
      way an out-of-OGM update is immediately committed, so that the old node
      can update its global translation table. Traffic reaching this node will
      then be redirected to the correct destination utilising the fresher
      information. Thus reducing the packet drops and the connection recovery
      delay.

      batman-adv: improved client announcement mechanism · a73105b8
      Antonio Quartulli 提交于
      The client announcement mechanism informs every mesh node in the network
      of any connected non-mesh client, in order to find the path towards that
      client from any given point in the mesh.
      
      The old implementation was based on the simple idea of appending a data
      buffer to each OGM containing all the client MAC addresses the node is
      serving. All other nodes can populate their global translation tables
      (table which links client MAC addresses to node addresses) using this
      MAC address buffer and linking it to the node's address contained in the
      OGM. A node that wants to contact a client has to lookup the node the
      client is connected to and its address in the global translation table.
      
      It is easy to understand that this implementation suffers from several
      issues:
       - big overhead (each and every OGM contains the entire list of
         connected clients)
       - high latencies for client route updates due to long OGM trip time and
         OGM losses
      
      The new implementation addresses these issues by appending client
      changes (new client joined or a client left) to the OGM instead of
      filling it with all the client addresses each time. In this way nodes
      can modify their global tables by means of "updates", thus reducing the
      overhead within the OGMs.
      
      To keep the entire network in sync each node maintains a translation
      table version number (ttvn) and a translation table checksum. These
      values are spread with the OGM to allow all the network participants to
      determine whether or not they need to update their translation table
      information.
      
      When a translation table lookup is performed in order to send a packet
      to a client attached to another node, the destination's ttvn is added to
      the payload packet. Forwarding nodes can compare the packet's ttvn with
      their destination's ttvn (this node could have a fresher information
      than the source) and re-route the packet if necessary. This greatly
      reduces the packet loss of clients roaming from one AP to the next.

      Staging: batman-adv: softif bridge loop avoidance · 42019357
      Marek Lindner 提交于
      By connecting multiple batman-adv mesh nodes to the same ethernet
      segment a loop can be created when the soft-interface is bridged
      into that ethernet segment. A simple visualization of the loop
      involving the most common case - a LAN as ethernet segment:
      
      node1  <-- LAN  -->  node2
         |                   |
       wifi  <-- mesh -->  wifi
      
      Packets from the LAN (e.g. ARP broadcasts) will circle forever from
      node1 or node2 over the mesh back into the LAN.
      
      This patch adds the functionality to detect other batman-adv nodes
      connected to the LAN and select a 'gateway' to talk to the
      non-batman-adv devices on this LAN. All traffic from and to the mesh
      will be handled by this gateway to avoid the loop. OGMs received via
      the soft-interface are interpreted as 'port announcements' to locate
      potential batman-adv nodes. The patch can also deal with vlans on
      top of batX and offers a list of LAN neighbors via debugfs.

      This patch replaces the static bat0 interface with a dynamic/abstracted
      approach. It is now possible to create multiple batX interfaces by
      assigning hard interfaces to them. Each batX interface acts as an
      independent mesh network. A soft interface is removed once no hard
      interface references it any longer.

      Staging: batman-adv: layer2 unicast packet fragmentation · e63760e5
      Andreas Langer 提交于
      This patch implements a simple layer2 fragmentation to allow traffic
      exchange over network interfaces with a MTU smaller than 1500 bytes. The
      fragmentation splits the big packets into two parts and marks the frames
      accordingly. The receiving end buffers the packets to reassemble the
      orignal packet before passing it to the higher layers. This feature
      makes it necessary to modify the batman-adv encapsulation for unicast
      packets by adding a sequence number, flags and the originator address.
      This modifcation is part of a seperate packet type for fragemented
      packets to keep the original overhead as low as possible. This patch
      enables the feature by default to ensure the data traffic can travel
      through the network. But it also prints a warning to notify the user
      about the performance implications.
      
      Note: Fragmentation should be avoided at all costs since it has a
      dramatic impact on the performance, especially when it comes wifi
      networks. Instead of a single packet, 2 packets have to be sent! Not
      only valuable airtime is wasted but also packetloss decreases the
      throughput. A link with 50% packetloss and fragmentation enabled is
      pretty much unusable.

      Simon Wunderlich 提交于
      This patch adds interface alternating to the new bonding feature. By
      default, we now try to avoid forwarding packets on the receiving
      interface, instead choosing alternative interfaces. This feature
      works only on nodes which have multiple interfaces connected to the
      mesh. This approach should reduce problems of the half-duplex nature
      of WiFi Hardware and thus increase performance.

      Staging: batman-adv: Add bonding functionality · e35fd5ec
      Simon Wunderlich 提交于
      This patch introduces bonding functionality to batman-advanced, targeted
      for the 0.3 release. As we are able to route the payload traffic as we
      want, we may use multiple interfaces on multihomed hosts to transfer data
      to achieve higher bandwidth. This can be considered as "light Multi Path
      Routing" for single hop connections.
      
      To detect which interfaces of a peer node belong to the same host, a
      new flag PRIMARIES_FIRST_HOP is introduced. This flag is set on the first hop
      of OGMs of the primary (first) interface, which is broadcasted on all
      interfaces. When receiving such an OGM, we can learn which interfaces
      belong to the same host (by assigning them to the primary originator).
      
      Bonding works by sending packets in a round-robin fashion to the available
      interfaces of a neighbor host, if multiple interfaces are available. The
      neighbor interfaces should be almost equally good to reach.
      
      To avoid interferences (i.e. sending on the same channel), only neighbor
      interfaces with different mac addresses and different outgoing interfaces
      are considered as candidates.
      
      Bonding is deactivated by default, and can be activated by
      
      echo 1 > /sys/class/net/bat0/mesh/bonding
      
      for each individual node.
