==================
|
|
|
|
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 and considered at all.
|
|
|
|
Selected router
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
The router selection mechanism is independent from the batman-adv gateway mode.
|
|
In contrast, the device originating the router advertisment could be any router
|
|
or client connected to the mesh, as radv-filterd captures all router
|
|
advertisements originating from it. All nodes announcing router advertisement
|
|
**with** a default lifetime greater than 0 are being considered as candidates.
|
|
|
|
In case a router is not a batman-adv originator itself, its TQ is defined by
|
|
the originator it is connected to. This lookup uses the batman-adv global
|
|
translation table.
|
|
|
|
Initially the router is the selected by choosing the candidate with the
|
|
strongest TQ. When another candidate can provide a better TQ metric it is not
|
|
picked up as the selected router until it will outperform the currently
|
|
selected router by X metric units. The hysteresis threshold is configurable
|
|
and prevents excessive flapping of the gateway.
|
|
|
|
"Local" routers
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
The package has functionality to select "local" routers, i.e. those connected
|
|
via cable or WLAN instead of via the mesh (technically: appearing in the
|
|
``transtable_local``), a fake TQ of 512 so that they are always preferred.
|
|
However, if used together with the :doc:`gluon-ebtables-filter-ra-dhcp`
|
|
package, these router advertisements are filtered anyway and reach neither the
|
|
node nor any other client. You currently have to disable the package or insert
|
|
custom ebtables rules in order to use local routers.
|
|
|
|
respondd module
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
This package also contains a module for respondd that announces the currently
|
|
selected router via the ``statistics.gateway6`` property using its interface MAC
|
|
address. Note that this is different from the ``statistics.gateway`` property,
|
|
which contains the MAC address of the main B.A.T.M.A.N. adv slave interface of
|
|
the selected IPv4 gateway.
|
|
|
|
site.conf
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
radv_filterd.threshold : optional
|
|
- minimal difference in TQ value that another gateway has to be better than
|
|
the currently chosen gateway to become the new chosen gateway
|
|
- defaults to ``20``
|
|
|
|
Example::
|
|
|
|
radv_filterd = {
|
|
threshold = 20,
|
|
}
