Hi,
we are using the following configuration in our freifunk network:
B.A.T.M.A.N. advanced 2011.0.0 (compatibility version 12)
ath1 (ad-hoc) as batman-adv-interfaces
ath0 (ap), tap0, eth0.1 and bat0 as a bridge
stp is enabled for the bridge.
Most of the nodes are connected via tinc and the network runs fine. But if two
nodes which have a tinc connection also get a ath1-connection, the whole
network crashes.
What are we doing wrong?
regards
Bjoern

Did I get you right, that »ath1-connection« refers to a second
connction of two tinc hosts over another interface?
In this case I suspect it’s a tinc matter,
and iptables could be a solution.
Is there anything in the tinc logs?
Maybe „two“ hosts with the _same_ identity?
Regards
P.M.

No, ath1 is the ad-hoc wifi connection.
ath0 and ath1 are wifi interfaces, tap0 is the tinc connection.

STP is no solution. Did you try enabling the bridge loop avoidance ?
http://www.open-mesh.org/wiki/batman-adv/Bridge-loop-avoidance
You might need to upgrade to a later batman-adv version though.

Marek

We did not enable bridge loop avoidance, IIRC we did not run batman on the
bridge interface due to overhead on the vpn links.
But we'll enable it on the nodes we have access to.
thx

Please give it a try. It sounds like a bridge loop.
We are working towards an enhanced bridge loop mechanism which aims to reduce
the overhead. Are you interested in testing it when it gets ready ?

Marek

Ok, we have running now the following setup:
ath1 (ad-hoc) as batman-interface
br-mesh (ath0 (ap-mode), eth0.1, tap0, bat0) as batman-interface
batman complains about the mtu 1500 of br-mesh, but it can't be set to 1527
because bat0 does not like any mtu setting.

Yes, this would be nice :)

Ok, does it solve your loop ?

Great! We will contact you once we have something testable.

I don't know, yesterday one of the loop-routers crashed, so I was not able to
test it yet.
BTW, how can I solve the MTU issue?

Ok.

You probably can't. However, I don't think this is a critical problem. It only
means that batman-adv will have to fragment the traffic.
Cheers,
Marek

It's up again, we added br-mesh as bat-if and the loop-protection seems to
work now.

There is something stupid going on. Our network behaves now more unstable as
before. I'll try to find out more what's going on.
