Tested it with 2x OM5P-ACv2 (LEDE 17.01) which were connected via ethernet
cable on port eth1. iperf was started with reduced MSS to increase the packet
count on a PC which was connected to eth0:

$ iperf -c 192.168.10.1 -t 30 -i 1 -P8 -M 536 -y C > test01.csv

Another PC (running on the eth0 of the other device) was running the iperf-server.

The network configuration was modified to automatically enable bat0 when link was detected on eth1:

config interface 'loopback'
option ifname 'lo'
option proto 'static'
option ipaddr '127.0.0.1'
option netmask '255.0.0.0'

config globals 'globals'
option ula_prefix 'fdcb:4e2a:b274::/48'

config interface 'lan'
option type 'bridge'
option ifname 'eth0 bat0'
option proto 'static'
option ipaddr '192.168.1.2'
option netmask '255.255.255.0'
option ip6assign '60'

config interface 'batnet'
option mtu '1532'
option proto 'batadv'
option ifname 'eth1'
option mesh 'bat0'
