Hi Antonio
One minor thing to consider is that your statement is actually:
if no _batman_ unicast packets have been sent for the last 100ms ...
I've used batman in setups where it has not been the exclusive user of
the hard interface. So there could be other traffic which is keeping
the RC algorithm up to date. So maybe it would be better to use the
hard interface statistic counters rather than last time batman sent a
packet?
