Re: Batman_V Originator Loop Issue

Hi Luke,

can you please describe which nodes are connected to the LAN and which are 
not? You say "one is connected to LAN" and the others are "operating as an 
access point", does that mean they are not connected to the same LAN via 
Ethernet?

If multiple nodes are connected and bridged to the same LAN, bridge loop 
avoidance should be enabled - you have that in your config, but you could 
double check with "batctl bl" and then "batctl bbt"/"batctl cl" (please post 
these tables if you think this could be connected).

You could also try disabling distributed arp table and multicast mode, just to 
make sure this is not shooting us in the foot here. Those optimizations are 
not really needed for such a small network.

Cheers,
       Simon
