2012-07-01batman-adv: Remove bat_ prefix from bat_{debugfs, sysfs}.{c, h}Sven Eckelmann1-2/+2
The "bat_" prefix in the source files implementing the batman-adv sysfs and debugfs interface doesn't have a special meaning and are only used by these files and files that implement the actual B.A.T.M.A.N. path finding algorithm. The prefix is better suited to mark files that are used to implement the main part of the path finding. All other files should not use it and therefore gets renamed.

Added additional counters in a bat_stats structure, which are exported through the ethtool api. The counters are specific to batman-adv and includes: forwarded packets and bytes management packets and bytes (aggregated OGMs at this point) translation table packets New counters are added by extending "enum bat_counters" in types.h and adding corresponding descriptive string(s) to bat_counters_strings in soft-iface.c. Counters are increased by calling batadv_add_counter() and incremented by one by calling batadv_inc_counter().

2012-04-11batman-adv: add basic bridge loop avoidance codeSimon Wunderlich1-0/+6
This second version of the bridge loop avoidance for batman-adv avoids loops between the mesh and a backbone (usually a LAN). 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. With this patch, batman recognizes backbone gateways, nodes which are part of the mesh and backbone/LAN at the same time. Each backbone gateway "claims" clients from within the mesh to handle them exclusively. By restricting that only responsible backbone gateways may handle their claimed clients traffic, loops are effectively avoided.

2011-06-20batman-adv: improved roaming mechanismAntonio Quartulli1-0/+2
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.

2011-06-20batman-adv: improved client announcement mechanismAntonio Quartulli1-6/+7
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.
