Subject: [PATCH 15/17] batman-adv: Disallow mcast src address for data frames

From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@...fation.org>

The routing checks are validating the source mac address of the outer
ethernet header. They reject every source mac address which is a broadcast
address. But they also have to reject any multicast mac addresses.
