* [http://downloads.open-mesh.org/batman/manpages/alfred-gpsd.html alfred-gpsd] - a used to distribute GPS location information about your batman-adv mesh network. This information could be, for example, combined with [http://www.open-mesh.org/projects/batmand/wiki/VisualizeMesh vis] to visualize your mesh topology with true geographic layout. The server fetches the information from locals nodes serving data from [http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/karmic/en/man8/gpsd.8.html gpsd]. | |||
* [http://downloads.open-mesh.org/batman/manpages/batadv-vis.html batadv-vis] - its a server that saves local client tables and distributes these tables via [http://www.open-mesh.org/projects/open-mesh/wiki/Alfred alfred]. These tables can be used to create network topology maps. | |||
* [http://www.open-mesh.org/projects/batman-adv/wiki/Multi-link-optimize bonding] - when there's multiple interfaces with similar throughput, bonding can be used to increase frame throughput. It uses [http://oit2.utk.edu/helpdesk/kb/entry/1699/ round robin load balancing] to evenly distribute frames. | |||
* [http://www.open-mesh.org/projects/batman-adv/wiki/DistributedArpTable-technical dat] - a distributed arp table is a Distributed Hash Table aimed to store ARP entries and to allow nodes to perform fast lookup operations. All the operations in the DHT (get and store) are performed on a set of nodes computed by means of a distributed hash function which input value is an IPv4 address. | |||
* [http://www.open-mesh.org/projects/batman-adv/wiki/Fragmentation-technical fragmentation] - a driver that sets fragmentation, which sends frames in fragmented frames when a wireless interfaces can't send/receive packets more than 1500 bytes. The protocol adds its own header to existing frames, which makes the packets have 1528 bytes. | |||
* gw_mode - a server is an internet gateway, a client sends and receives traffic to and from the gateway | |||
* traceroute - tries to find the bat-host name if the given parameter was not a MAC address. It can also try to guess the MAC address using an IPv4/IPv6 address or a hostname when the IPv4/IPv6 address was configured on top of the batman-adv interface of the destination device and both source and destination devices are in the same IP subnet. | |||
