* batman-adv: substitute tt_poss_change with a per-tt_entry flagAntonio Quartulli2012-11-141-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | tt_poss_change is a node-wide flag which tells whether the node is in a roaming state (a client recently moved to/away from it) in order to let it apply special re-routing rules. However this flag does not give a clear idea of the current state because it is not possible to understand *which client* is actually involved in the roaming. For this reason a better approach has been chosen: instead of using a node-wide variable, the roaming state is now given by a per-tt_entry ROAM flag which, in case of packet coming through the node, tells the node whether the real destination is in roaming state or not. With this flag change, batadv_check_unicast_ttvn() has also been rearranged in order to better fit the new re-routing logic and to be much more readable.

* batman-adv: add basic bridge loop avoidance codeSimon Wunderlich2012-04-111-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

However this is not a good idea because ttvn gets the vale zero each time after reaching the maximum value (wrap around).

* batman-adv: fixed hash functions type to uint32_t instead of intAntonio Quartulli2011-11-201-5/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are two reasons for this fix: - the result of choose_orig() and vis_choose() is an index and therefore it can't be negative. Hence it is correct to make the return type unsigned too. - sizeof(int) may not be the same on ALL the architectures. Since we plan to use choose_orig() as DHT hash function, we need to guarantee that, given the same argument, the result is the same. Then it is correct to explicitly express the size of the return type (and the second argument). Since the expected length is currently 4, uint32_t is the most convenient choice.

* batman-adv: improved roaming mechanismAntonio Quartulli2011-06-201-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 mechanismAntonio Quartulli2011-06-201-3/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
