|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
"Best" router
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
The best router is determined by the TQ that is reported for its originator by
|
|
B.A.T.M.A.N. advanced. If, for some reason, another gateway with a better TQ
|
|
appears or an existing gateway increases its TQ above that of the chosen
|
|
gateway, the chosen gateway will remain selected until the better gateway has a
|
|
TQ value at least X higher than the selected gateway. This is called
|
|
hysteresis, and X can be specified on the commandline/via UCI/the site.conf and
|
|
defaults to 20 (just as for the IPv4 gateway selection feature built into
|
|
B.A.T.M.A.N. advanced).
|
|
|
|
"Local" routers
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
The package has functionality to assign "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:`package/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.
