the node which has internet connectitvity / default gateway.

thanks, this help: so [.W.] means:
"this client is connected to the node through a wireless device"

      Client        (TTVN)       Originator      (Curr TTVN) (CRC   )   Flags
* 00:21:6a:32:7c:1c  (  4) via 02:00:ca:b1:02:22     (  5)   (0x6456) * [.W.]
+ 00:21:6a:32:7c:1c  (  5) via 02:00:ca:b1:00:13     (  5)   [.W.]

but i can be sure, that may laptop "00:21:6a:32:7c:1c" was never connected to '02:00:ca:b1:00:13'.
both nodes are not connected via cable and are nodes in hybrid-mode (ap+adhoc).
no special tricks, 'only' macvlan. BLA2 is active on all nodes.

the again: why does batman-adv think, that the client (my laptop) is/was
reachable over 02:00:ca:b1:00:13 - the laptop was never there? a hash-collision?

what i also see now:
a laptop is connected via wifi to NodeA, but i ask the 'transglobal'
table, batman-adv says it is on another location and 'batctl tr $lapop'
also works. explaining it:

NodeA = 192.168.99.1/16   ~~~ Laptop with 192.168.222.51/16

(air)

NodeB = 192.168.222.1/16

The Laptop is connected to Node A, but has an IP from Node B.
batman-adv thinks that the Laptop is on NodeB, but in fact it
is on NodeA. Why is this? On Node A 'wlan0' is bridged to bat0.

I can also see via pinging from Laptop 'dups' (2 answers).

bye, bastian
