Date: Wed, 1 Apr 2015 10:04:35 +0200 From: Linus Lüssing <linus.luessing@...3.blue> To: b.a.t.m.a.n@...ts.open-mesh.org, netdev@...r.kernel.org, bridge@...ts.linux-foundation.org Subject: [PATCH RFCv2 0/4] batman-adv: Unicasting multicast reports to querier-node only The last round of multicast patches send to the batman-adv mailinglist to add support for the multicast optimizations in bridged scenarios, too, unfortunately had one major conceptual flaw: It could lead to packet loss. It's not sufficient to have the unicasting of reports implemented on bridge-nodes only. Nodes without bridges need to treat reports the same way. The issue is described in detail here: https://www.open-mesh.org/projects/batman-adv/wiki/Multicast-optimizations-listener-reports I'd also be interested in what the netdev/bridge people think about patches #1 and #2 in particular, therefore including the according mailinglists now. Cheers, Linus Changelog: v2: * various bugfixes (now runtime tested, too - should(tm) work) * added netdev+bridge mailinglists -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
