We already have multicast-to-unicast support between client and node. And batman-adv has multicast-to-unicast conversion capabilities if there is only one receiver. Now this patchset adds node-to-node multicast-to-unicast support to multiple targets as well. This should save airtime for ICMPv6 Router Solicitations, for instance. Here we have multiple targets for the same IPv6 multicast destination address. However, the number of destination nodes is still rather small in this case, i.e. all gateways, making multiple unicast transmissions less costly than flooding a packet through the whole mesh. Also, this allows playing with multicast streaming to a limited set of destination nodes (default setting: 16). Also, nearly all nodes should be running a batman-adv version which was compiled with CONFIG_BATMAN_ADV_MCAST=y (e.g. Gluon v2018.1 or later) for this feature to take effect.

Gluon's developers frequent an IRC chatroom at #gluon on hackint. There is also a webchat that allows for access from within your browser.
Issues & Feature requests
Before opening an issue, make sure to check whether any existing issues (open or closed) match. If you're suggesting a new feature, drop by on IRC or our mailinglist to discuss it first.
We maintain a Roadmap for the future development of Gluon.
Use a release!
Please refrain from using the master branch for anything else but development purposes!
Use the most recent release instead. You can list all releases by running git tag
and switch to one by running git checkout v2018.2 && make update.
If you're using the autoupdater, do not autoupdate nodes with anything but releases. If you upgrade using random master commits the nodes will break eventually.
