From 3bda14d09dc5789a895ab02b7dcfcec19b0a65b3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Lüssing Date: Mon, 1 Jun 2020 22:35:22 +0200 Subject: batman-adv: Introduce a configurable per interface hop penalty MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit In some setups multiple hard interfaces with similar link qualities or throughput values are available. But people have expressed the desire to consider one of them as a backup only. Some creative solutions are currently in use: Such people are configuring multiple batman-adv mesh/soft interfaces, wire them together with some veth pairs and then tune the hop penalty to achieve an effect similar to a tunable per interface hop penalty. This patch introduces a new, configurable, per hard interface hop penalty to simplify such setups.
