Hi Bastian,

Did you have a chance to try the iptables + netfilter_bridge hook
(I believe via the iptables physdev module?) Antonio suggested
yet?

It sounds like a good idea to me and since no one seems to have
tried it with batman-adv yet I'm curious whether it works well in
practice.

Whether you could enhance the user experience in an open,
batman-adv based community mesh network by having an IP instead
of connection based sharing of available bandwidth.

Cheers, Linus
