By emitting Lua code to call translate() and pcdata(), we are more
flexible than when doing this internally in the parser. The performance
penalty should be negligible.
This patch moves the prefix4 subnet route from the local-node veth
device to br-client (while keeping the next node ipv4 address on the
local node device).
This is in preparation to allow routing over the br-client interface
later.
This package adds filters to limit the amount of ARP Requests
devices are allowed to send into the mesh. The limits are 6 packets
per minute per client device, by MAC address, and 1 per second per
node in total.
A burst of up to 50 ARP Requests is allowed until the rate-limiting
takes effect (see --limit-burst in the ebtables manpage).
Furthermore, ARP Requests with a target IP already present in the
batman-adv DAT Cache are excluded from the rate-limiting,
both regarding counting and filtering, as batman-adv will respond
locally with no burden for the mesh. Therefore, this limiter
should not affect popular target IPs, like gateways.
However it should mitigate the problem of curious people or
smart devices scanning the whole IP range. Which could create
a significant amount of overhead for all participants so far.

Both gluon.sysconfig and libgluonutil already remove the trailing newline
if it exists. It's nicer to avoid files without a trailing newline, e.g.
for printing the file contents in a terminal.
This is currently only implemented in the gluon-mesh-vpn-fastd
package.
Advertising the public key may be deemed problematic when
your threat-model involves protecting the nodes privacy
from tunnel traffic correlation by onlink observers.
It can be enabled by setting site.mesh_vpn.fastd.pubkey_privacy
to `false`.
If a value is unset or optional, an empty choice is added to the selection.
This empty choice will be marked as invalid if the value is not optional.
This is properly supported for the 'select' widget only for now, and not
for 'radio'.
This package drops all incoming router advertisements except for the
default router with the best metric according to B.A.T.M.A.N. advanced.
Note that advertisements originating from the node itself (for example
via gluon-radvd) are not affected.
Also disabling TX checksums and not only allowing incoming packets without
checksum will provide another small speedup. As doing so would break wired
meshing with VXLAN-enabled nodes that require non-zero checksums, we will
wait a few days before this step.
