You did mention you were using selection class 1. I was referring to your t=
est=20
in which you turn on/off your best gateway. As I explained in my previous=20
mail: batman-adv does not switch the gateway once it has chosen a gateway=20
unless you select fast or late switching as selection class. Selection clas=
s 1=20
does not fall into this category which means a gateway reselection only=20
happens if the currently selected gateway disappears.

Run the foloowing test: enable both gateways before setting the gateway cli=
ent=20
to selection class 1. The gateway announcing the higher bandwidth should be=
=20
selected.
