Hi,

I know I asked this question some time ago but I didn´t got it till now so I 
have to ask again.
I know that Batman advanced does the meshing on layer 2 and has nothing to do 
with layer 3.

We have a wonderfull working Batman advanced network now which we use with 
IPv4.
Communication inside the networks works verry well and everything is fine.

Now I want to go from the Batman advanced mesh network to the internet. 
Therefor we have several gateways which I can use to get into the internet.
To use one of the gateways, I only have to set the default route of the mesh-
client to the gateways IPv4 address.

How can I do this automatically and how can I automatically choose the best 
gateway for my client? I know that Batman advanced does not do this for now 
but I already saw something that sounded like made for this in the trunk 
version and on the manpage of batctl. The function is called gw_mode.

*How do you this?
*What do you recommend for this task?
*What´s about the funktion in trunk? Is the function made for this?
**If so why do you mix Layer 2 and Layer 3 now?
**When do you think this function will be in the stable release?

Sorry for so many questions but I´m a bit confused^^
Clemens
