Hi Andreas, yes, those are loop detection packets. Preventing these entries from the local translation table has been implemented only recently. We can potentially do the same for global addresses as well, it just hasn't been done so far ... at least I don't see a reason prevening us from

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] MAC addresses of loop detect frames in global translation-table

2017-05-31 Thread Andreas Pape
Hello, I stumbled across some weired MAC addresses starting with ba:be in the global translation-table when running batman-adv-2017.0.1. I run my setup with bla enabled. Most of the entries in the global tt of my devices consist of these mac addresses. Looking through the code they come from
