In /etc/config/batman-adv:
There are [http://www.open-mesh.org/projects/batman-adv/wiki/Tweaking other options], but these are the recommended settings in /etc/config/batman-adv:

config mesh 'bat0'
config mesh 'bat0'
option interfaces 'adhoc0' # the interface for which to enable batman0
option interfaces 'adhoc0' # the interface for which to enable batman0

* [http://www.open-mesh.org/projects/batman-adv/wiki/Tweaking aggregated_ogms] - an option that combines the [http://www.open-mesh.org/projects/batman-adv/wiki/OGM originator messages] into a single packet instead of a lot of smaller packets.
* [http://www.open-mesh.org/projects/batman-adv/wiki/Ap-isolation ap_isolation] - an option that prevents any communication between stations connected to the same access point. The clients of the access point won't be able to communicate to each other, which makes it more secure, but less efficient for networking. There's [http://www.open-mesh.org/projects/batman-adv/wiki/Extended-Isolation extended ap isolation], which prevents all the wirelsss-to-wireless traffic and at the same time marks clients as isolated based on the user configuration.
* multicast mode - an option that reduces unnecessary packet transmissions. This optimization announces multicast listeners via the translation table mechanism, thereby signaling interest in certain multicast traffic instead of all of it. If disabled multicast traffic is forwarded to the every node in the network (broadcast).
