+config BATMAN_ADV
+ tristate "B.A.T.M.A.N. Advanced Meshing Protocol"
+ depends on NET
+ select CRC16
+ select LIBCRC32C
+ default n
+ help
+ B.A.T.M.A.N. (better approach to mobile ad-hoc networking) is
+ a routing protocol for multi-hop ad-hoc mesh networks. The
+ networks may be wired or wireless. See
+ http://www.open-mesh.org/ for more information and user space
+ tools.
+
+config BATMAN_ADV_BLA
+ bool "Bridge Loop Avoidance"
+ depends on BATMAN_ADV && INET
+ default y
+ help
+ This option enables BLA (Bridge Loop Avoidance), a mechanism
+ to avoid Ethernet frames looping when mesh nodes are connected
+ to both the same LAN and the same mesh. If you will never use
+ more than one mesh node in the same LAN, you can safely remove
+ this feature and save some space.
+
+config BATMAN_ADV_DAT
+ bool "Distributed ARP Table"
+ depends on BATMAN_ADV && INET
+ default n
+ help
+ This option enables DAT (Distributed ARP Table), a DHT based
+ mechanism that increases ARP reliability on sparse wireless
+ mesh networks. If you think that your network does not need
+ this option you can safely remove it and save some space.
+
+config BATMAN_ADV_NC
+ bool "Network Coding"
+ depends on BATMAN_ADV
+ default n
+ help
+ This option enables network coding, a mechanism that aims to
+ increase the overall network throughput by fusing multiple
+ packets in one transmission.
+ Note that interfaces controlled by batman-adv must be manually
+ configured to have promiscuous mode enabled in order to make
+ network coding work.
+ If you think that your network does not need this feature you
+ can safely disable it and save some space.
+
+config BATMAN_ADV_MCAST
+ bool "Multicast optimisation"
+ depends on BATMAN_ADV
+ default n
+ help
+ This option enables the multicast optimisation which aims to
+ reduce the air overhead while improving the reliability of
+ multicast messages.
+
+config BATMAN_ADV_DEBUG
+ bool "B.A.T.M.A.N. debugging"
+ depends on BATMAN_ADV
+ depends on DEBUG_FS
+ help
+ This is an option for use by developers; most people should
+ say N here. This enables compilation of support for
+ outputting debugging information to the kernel log. The
+ output is controlled via the module parameter debug.
