Sorry for this, yesterday evening I was restructuring the documentation and I
moved [1] to [2] (I had in mind to write an email about this, but it was late..)
Later, [3] will become the official documenting page of DAT (W.I.P. now).
[1] http://www.open-mesh.org/wiki/batman-adv/DAT
[2] http://www.open-mesh.org/wiki/batman-adv/GSOC2011_DAT
[3] http://www.open-mesh.org/wiki/batman-adv/DistributedArpTable
Cheers,
