The timeout was calculated incorrectly (in each iteration the span between
the start time and the current time was substracted from the timeout
again), and would often become negative, causing warnings in the kernel
log.
On the status page statistics section counters for transmitted and received traffic were mixed up. Transmitted traffic was shown as received while received traffic was shown as being transmitted.
Fixes#586
Is makes sense to always look for both ibss_radio* and mesh_radio* sections
to determine if the meshing should be enabled when regenerating these
sections. Doing this, the disabled state will survive updates changing the
section name (either updating from pre-2015.2 while keeping IBSS, or
changing from IBSS to 11s or vice-versa).
If both ibss_radio* and mesh_radio* sections exist, the disabled state will
be kept correctly for each section, the behaviour is changed only when
creating a section that didn't exist before.
Fixes#549
PKG_FILE_DEPENDS caused the whole site repo to be hashed to determine if
gluon-site needed rebuilding. While this is normally no problem,
alternative build setups sometimes put the Gluon repo inside the site repo,
causing long build times and parallel build failures.
in a layer 2 mesh network, multicast pings cause a lot of traffic in the
network, significantly increasing the 'backgroudn noise' (= Grundrauschen)
and stressing nodes in the network.
this commit blacklists all icmpv4 multicast traffic as well as multicast
icmpv6 echo-requests and node iformation queries. as no application
depending on these types of multicast traffic is known, blacklisting is safe.
gluon-radio-config contained only a single file. The code has been adjusted
to allow creating a Gluon configuration without WLAN support by removing
the wifi24 and wifi5 sections from site.conf.
The file promotes the probably unnecessary re-execution of the announce
scripts. Instead, gluon-announced should be queried using
gluon-neighbour-info -d ::1 -p 1001 -t0 -r nodeinfo
if both gluon-announced and gluon-neighbour-info are present. But to not
depend on any of those, no script for this one-liner is provided.
Now that the status page api has been rewritten in C CPU load and memory
usage is much lower. Also, nodes with both ibss and 11s mesh and dual
band wifi may require up to 9 connections for a single client, thus the
previous limit of 12 seemed a little low.
