Hello Nicolás,
I think I got your point. First, you are talking about the "normal" AP isolation
feature that you can enable in hostapd, right? Because in batman-adv we have our
own (Distributed) AP-isolation but it has different effects and behaviours.
The behaviour is correct: OGMs are broadcast packets. In infrastructure mode,
whatever broadcast packet a station sends gets to the AP which will re-broadcast
it again. In this way every station gets it and from the batman-adv point of
view it is like the packet was received directly from the other sta (the MAC
addresses in the packet say so). Therefore you must enable ap-isolation in
hostapd if you want batman-adv to behave as you expect.
Cheers,
