Subject: [B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH 2/2] batman-adv: make number of broadcasts configurable per hardif
Date: Fri, 8 Mar 2013 18:38:56 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1362764336-1591-2-git-send-email-linus.luessing@web.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1362764336-1591-1-git-send-email-linus.luessing@web.de>
From: Matthias Schiffer <mschiffer@universe-factory.net>
In heterogenous networks, setting the number of broadcasts to differing values
on different interfaces can be beneficial.
E.g., on wireless interfaces with high packet loss a higher number of broadcasts
may be necessary, whereas on low-bandwidth interfaces with relatively high
reliablily (such as VPN links over slow internet lines) sending only a single
packet makes more sense to preserve bandwidth.
