<rampone>heyho, hohey. I am using batman-adv 2012.4.0 with the kbu freifunk project. As we wanted to lessen traffic on the cityvpn, we raised the beacon interval to 5. Before I think we had an interval of 1. Now since the interval of 5 I have the problem, that if I roam with a client vom an AP to another (both are adhoc meshed) there seems to be no data transferred for about 5 seconds (TCP SIP phone call (silent), skype
<rampone> call even disconnects to reconnect and http streaming stops). My questions are: Were the ROAM_ADV packets invented, to prevent exactly this behaviour? Is it broken in 2012.4.0 and/or in batman 2013.0.0 it says - fix TT roaming cases
<rampone>  - fix TT packet rerouting
<rampone>  - fix TT flags handling
<ordex>rampone: it is supposed to work
<rampone>Does that mean my described case is fixed in 2013.0?
<ordex>yeah
<rampone>even in 2012.4
<rampone>or in 2013.
<ordex>let me check
<ordex>because i don't exactly remember where the fixes are
<ordex>one sec
<rampone>kk. ty alreqady
<ordex>rampone: 2013.0.0 is the one having all the fixes
<ordex>I would suggest you to upgrade
<ordex>there were some interesting fixes to the TT component
<ordex>including this roaming handling
<ordex>therefore it is better f you upgrade
<ordex>and, if ossible, please report us how it goes (if you do so)
<ordex>*possible
<rampone>kk. compiling it for the kernel version we use does not work, symbol error. but then i will try to make one with openwrt trunk, a little more work, but you showed me, that there is light at the end of the tunnel
<ordex>rampone:
<ordex>what symbol?
<ordex>maybe crc32c?
- Nevets quit (Quit: Zzzzzzzz...)
<rampone>not sure right now. would have to rebuild it
<ordex>that is a new dependancy and it has probably been introduced with this version too
<ordex>you have to enable +kmod-crypto-crc32c +kmod-lib-crc32c on openwrt
<ordex>it is part of the DEPENDENCIES of the packet, IIRC
<rampone>think so, thats why i couldnt try it really quickly. but wanted to ask alread for weeks.
<ordex>but yes
<rampone>mmhkay, will try
<ordex>there is always some light at the end!
<ordex>:D
<rampone>haha ;)
<rampone>ty. I dint want to aks here, i do not like to bug the coders ;)
<ordex>I tested the roaming myself, and it should work as you expect
