With batman-adv 2022.0 support for directed multicast in bridged setups for routeable multicast addresses was refined - if the Linux kernel is 5.14 or higher. This backports the according changes made to the Linux bridge in 5.14 and kernel exports to 5.10, to allow batman-adv to tap into and use the Linux bridge's Multicast Router Discovery (RFC4286) based multicast router state. Which enables the batman-adv multicast optimizations not only for IPv6 link-local multicast addresses (ffX2::/16) but now also IPv6 routeable multicast addresses (ffXY::/16, with Y > 2) in Gluon. Note that since batman-adv v2019.3 with a Linux < 5.14 multicast routers were initially "guessed" by checking for listeners on ff02::2 (all-routers). Which could potentially overestimate - like in our case: This approach won't work for us, as every Gluon node listens on ff02::2 on the local-node interface due to Gluon's radvd for local IPv6 prefix assignments.

Gluon
Gluon is a firmware framework to build preconfigured OpenWrt images for public mesh networks.
Getting started
We have a huge amount of documentation over at https://gluon.readthedocs.io/.
If you're new to Gluon and ready to get your feet wet, have a look at the Getting Started Guide.
Gluon's developers frequent an IRC chatroom at #gluon on hackint. There is also a webchat that allows for uncomplicated access from within your browser. This channel is also available as a bridged Matrix Room at #gluon:hackint.org.
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 v2022.1 && 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 might break eventually.
