batman-adv: design suggestions
Hi folks, I was reading batman-adv sources and noted: 1) Some incoming packets may cause a storm of error logs, such as at routing.c:862 if (icmp_packet->msg_type != ECHO_REQUEST) { pr_warning("Warning - can't forward icmp packet from %pM to " "%pM: ttl exceeded\n", icmp_packet->orig, ic... 13 Aug 2010 20:09
