+Description:
+                Each batman node only maintains information about its
+                own local neighborhood, therefore generating graphs
+                showing the topology of the entire mesh is not easily
+                feasible without having a central instance to collect
+                the local topologies from all nodes. This file allows
+                to activate the collecting (server) mode.

+                      Version 2, June 1991
+
+ Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
+ 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA  02110-1301  USA
+ Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
+ of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
+
+                           Preamble
+
+  The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
+freedom to share and change it.  By contrast, the GNU General Public
+License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
+software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.  This
+General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
+Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
+using it.  (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
+the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.)  You can apply it to
+your programs, too.
+
+  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
+price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
+have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
+this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
+if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
+in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
+
+  To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
+anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
+These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
+distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
+
+  For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
+gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
+you have.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
+source code.  And you must show them these terms so they know their
+rights.
+
+  We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
+(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
+distribute and/or modify the software.
+
+  Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
+that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
+software.  If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
+want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
+that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
+authors' reputations.
+
+  Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
+patents.  We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
+program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
+program proprietary.  To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
+patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
+
+  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
+modification follow.
+
+                   GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
+   TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
+
+  0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
+a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
+under the terms of this General Public License.  The "Program", below,
+refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
+means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
+that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
+either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
+language.  (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
+the term "modification".)  Each licensee is addressed as "you".
+
+Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
+covered by this License; they are outside its scope.  The act of
+running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
+is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
+Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
+Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
+
+  1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
+source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
+conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
+copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
+notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
+and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
+along with the Program.
+
+You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
+you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
+
+  2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
+of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
+distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
+above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
+
+    a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
+    stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
+
+    b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
+    whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
+    part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
+    parties under the terms of this License.
+
+    c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
+    when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
+    interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
+    announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
+    notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
+    a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
+    these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
+    License.  (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
+    does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
+    the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
+
+These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If
+identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
+and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
+themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
+sections when you distribute them as separate works.  But when you
+distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
+on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
+this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
+entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
+
+Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
+your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
+exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
+collective works based on the Program.
+
+In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
+with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
+a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
+the scope of this License.
+
+  3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
+under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
+Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
+
+    a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
+    source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
+    1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
+
+    b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
+    years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
+    cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
+    machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
+    distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
+    customarily used for software interchange; or,
+
+    c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
+    to distribute corresponding source code.  (This alternative is
+    allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
+    received the program in object code or executable form with such
+    an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
+
+The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
+making modifications to it.  For an executable work, complete source
+code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
+associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
+control compilation and installation of the executable.  However, as a
+special exception, the source code distributed need not include
+anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
+form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
+operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
+itself accompanies the executable.
+
+If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
+access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
+access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
+distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
+compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
+
+  4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
+except as expressly provided under this License.  Any attempt
+otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
+void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
+However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
+this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
+parties remain in full compliance.
+
+  5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
+signed it.  However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or

+BATMAN-ADV
+----------
+
+Batman  advanced  is  a new approach to wireless networking which
+does no longer operate on the IP basis. Unlike the batman daemon,
+which  exchanges  information  using UDP packets and sets routing
+tables, batman-advanced operates on ISO/OSI Layer 2 only and uses
+and  routes  (or  better: bridges) Ethernet Frames. It emulates a
+virtual network switch of all nodes participating.  Therefore all
+nodes  appear  to be link local, thus all higher operating proto-
+cols won't be affected by any changes within the network. You can
+run almost any protocol above batman advanced, prominent examples
+are: IPv4, IPv6, DHCP, IPX.
+
+Batman advanced was implemented as a Linux kernel driver  to  re-
+duce the overhead to a minimum. It does not depend on any (other)
+network driver, and can be used on wifi as well as ethernet  lan,
+vpn,  etc ... (anything with ethernet-style layer 2).
+
+CONFIGURATION
+-------------
+
+Load the batman-adv module into your kernel:
+
+# insmod batman-adv.ko
+
+The  module  is now waiting for activation. You must add some in-
+terfaces on which batman can operate. After  loading  the  module
+batman  advanced  will scan your systems interfaces to search for
+compatible interfaces. Once found, it will create  subfolders  in
+the /sys directories of each supported interface, e.g.
+
+# ls /sys/class/net/eth0/batman_adv/
+# iface_status  mesh_iface
+
+If an interface does not have the "batman_adv" subfolder it prob-
+ably is not supported. Not supported  interfaces  are:  loopback,
+non-ethernet and batman's own interfaces.
+
+Note:  After the module was loaded it will continuously watch for
+new interfaces to verify the compatibility. There is no  need  to
+reload the module if you plug your USB wifi adapter into your ma-
+chine after batman advanced was initially loaded.
+
+To activate a  given  interface  simply  write  "bat0"  into  its
+"mesh_iface" file inside the batman_adv subfolder:
+
+# echo bat0 > /sys/class/net/eth0/batman_adv/mesh_iface
+
+Repeat  this step for all interfaces you wish to add.  Now batman
+starts using/broadcasting on this/these interface(s).
+
+By reading the "iface_status" file you can check its status:
+
+# cat /sys/class/net/eth0/batman_adv/iface_status
+# active
+
+To deactivate an interface you have  to  write  "none"  into  its
+"mesh_iface" file:
+
+# echo none > /sys/class/net/eth0/batman_adv/mesh_iface
+
+
+All  mesh  wide  settings  can be found in batman's own interface
+folder:
+
+#  ls  /sys/class/net/bat0/mesh/
+#  aggregated_ogms  bonding  fragmentation  orig_interval
+#  vis_mode
+
+
+There is a special folder for debugging informations:
+
+#  ls /sys/kernel/debug/batman_adv/bat0/
+#  originators  socket  transtable_global  transtable_local
+#  vis_data
+
+
+Some of the files contain all sort of status information  regard-
+ing  the  mesh  network.  For  example, you can view the table of
+originators (mesh participants) with:
+
+# cat /sys/kernel/debug/batman_adv/bat0/originators
+
+Other files allow to change batman's behaviour to better fit your
+requirements.  For instance, you can check the current originator
+interval (value in milliseconds which determines how often batman
+sends its broadcast packets):
+
+# cat /sys/class/net/bat0/mesh/orig_interval
+# 1000
+
+and also change its value:
+
+# echo 3000 > /sys/class/net/bat0/mesh/orig_interval
+
+In very mobile scenarios, you might want to adjust the originator
+interval to a lower value. This will make the mesh  more  respon-
+sive to topology changes, but will also increase the overhead.
+
+
+USAGE
+-----
+
+To  make use of your newly created mesh, batman advanced provides
+a new interface "bat0" which you should use from this  point  on.
+All  interfaces  added  to  batman  advanced are not relevant any
+longer because batman handles them for you. Basically, one "hands
+over" the data by using the batman interface and batman will make
+sure it reaches its destination.
+
+The "bat0" interface can be used like any  other  regular  inter-
+face.  It needs an IP address which can be either statically con-
+figured or dynamically (by using DHCP or similar services):
+
+# NodeA: ifconfig bat0 192.168.0.1
+# NodeB: ifconfig bat0 192.168.0.2
+# NodeB: ping 192.168.0.1
+
+Note:  In  order to avoid problems remove all IP addresses previ-
+ously assigned to interfaces now used by batman advanced, e.g.
+
+# ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0
+
+
+VISUALIZATION
+-------------
+
+If you want topology visualization, at least one mesh  node  must
+be configured as VIS-server:
+
+# echo "server" > /sys/class/net/bat0/mesh/vis_mode
+
+Each  node  is  either configured as "server" or as "client" (de-
+fault: "client").  Clients send their topology data to the server
+next to them, and server synchronize with other servers. If there
+is no server configured (default) within the  mesh,  no  topology
+information   will  be  transmitted.  With  these  "synchronizing
+servers", there can be 1 or more vis servers sharing the same (or
+at least very similar) data.
+
+When  configured  as  server,  you can get a topology snapshot of
+your mesh:
+
+# cat /sys/kernel/debug/batman_adv/bat0/vis_data
+
+This raw output is intended to be easily parsable and convertable
+with  other tools. Have a look at the batctl README if you want a
+vis output in dot or json format for instance and how those  out-
+puts could then be visualised in an image.
+
+The raw format consists of comma separated values per entry where
+each entry is giving information about a  certain  source  inter-
+face.  Each  entry can/has to have the following values:
+-> "mac" - mac address of an originator's source interface
+           (each line begins with it)
+-> "TQ mac  value"  -  src mac's link quality towards mac address
+                       of a neighbor originator's interface which
+                       is being used for routing
+-> "HNA mac" - HNA announced by source mac
+-> "PRIMARY" - this  is a primary interface
+-> "SEC mac" - secondary mac address of source
+               (requires preceding PRIMARY)
+
+The TQ value has a range from 4 to 255 with 255 being  the  best.
+The HNA entries are showing which hosts are connected to the mesh
+via bat0 or being bridged into the mesh network.  The PRIMARY/SEC
+values are only applied on primary interfaces
+
+
+LOGGING/DEBUGGING
+-----------------
+
+All error messages, warnings and information messages are sent to
+the kernel log. Depending on your operating  system  distribution
+this  can  be read in one of a number of ways. Try using the com-
+mands: dmesg, logread, or looking in the files  /var/log/kern.log
+or  /var/log/syslog.  All  batman-adv  messages are prefixed with
+"batman-adv:" So to see just these messages try
+
+# dmesg | grep batman-adv
+
+When investigating problems with your mesh network  it  is  some-
+times  necessary  to see more detail debug messages. This must be
+enabled when compiling the batman-adv module. When building  bat-
+man-adv  as  part of kernel, use "make menuconfig" and enable the
+option "B.A.T.M.A.N. debugging".
+
+Those additional  debug messages can be accessed  using a special
+file in debugfs
+
+# cat /sys/kernel/debug/batman_adv/bat0/log
+
+The additional debug output is by default disabled. It can be en-
+abled  during run time. Following log_levels are defined:
+
+0 - All  debug  output  disabled
+1 - Enable messages related to routing / flooding / broadcasting
+2 - Enable route or hna added / changed / deleted
+3 - Enable all messages
+
+The debug output can be changed at runtime  using  the  file
+/sys/class/net/bat0/mesh/log_level. e.g.
+
+# echo 2 > /sys/class/net/bat0/mesh/log_level
+
+will enable debug messages for when routes or HNAs change.
+
+
+BATCTL
+------
+
+As batman advanced operates on layer 2 all hosts participating in
+the  virtual switch are completely transparent for all  protocols
+above layer 2. Therefore the common diagnosis tools do  not  work
+as  expected.  To  overcome these problems batctl was created. At
+the  moment the  batctl contains ping,  traceroute,  tcpdump  and
+interfaces to the kernel module settings.
+
+For more information, please see the manpage (man batctl).
+
+batctl is available on http://www.open-mesh.org/

 Socket options
 ==============
+DCCP_SOCKOPT_QPOLICY_ID sets the dequeuing policy for outgoing packets. It takes
+a policy ID as argument and can only be set before the connection (i.e. changes
+during an established connection are not supported). Currently, two policies are
+defined: the "simple" policy (DCCPQ_POLICY_SIMPLE), which does nothing special,
+and a priority-based variant (DCCPQ_POLICY_PRIO). The latter allows to pass an
+u32 priority value as ancillary data to sendmsg(), where higher numbers indicate
+a higher packet priority (similar to SO_PRIORITY). This ancillary data needs to
+be formatted using a cmsg(3) message header filled in as follows:
+        cmsg->cmsg_level = SOL_DCCP;
+        cmsg->cmsg_type  = DCCP_SCM_PRIORITY;
+        cmsg->cmsg_len   = CMSG_LEN(sizeof(uint32_t));  /* or CMSG_LEN(4) */
+
+DCCP_SOCKOPT_QPOLICY_TXQLEN sets the maximum length of the output queue. A zero
+value is always interpreted as unbounded queue length. If different from zero,
+the interpretation of this parameter depends on the current dequeuing policy
+(see above): the "simple" policy will enforce a fixed queue size by returning
+EAGAIN, whereas the "prio" policy enforces a fixed queue length by dropping the
+lowest-priority packet first. The default value for this parameter is
+initialised from /proc/sys/net/dccp/default/tx_qlen.
+
 DCCP_SOCKOPT_SERVICE sets the service. The specification mandates use of
 service codes (RFC 4340, sec. 8.1.2); if this socket option is not set,
 the socket will fall back to 0 (which means that no meaningful service code

-  ---
-  Large Receive Offload (LRO) is a technique for increasing inbound throughput

-  the number of packets that have to be processed. LRO combines multiple
-  Ethernet frames into a single receive in the stack, thereby potentially
-  decreasing CPU utilization for receives.

-  NOTE: You need to have inet_lro enabled via either the CONFIG_INET_LRO or
-  CONFIG_INET_LRO_MODULE kernel config option. Additionally, if
-  CONFIG_INET_LRO_MODULE is used, the inet_lro module needs to be loaded
-  before the igb driver.
-
-  You can verify that the driver is using LRO by looking at these counters in

-
-  lro_aggregated - count of total packets that were combined
-  lro_flushed - counts the number of packets flushed out of LRO
-  lro_no_desc - counts the number of times an LRO descriptor was not available
-  for the LRO packet

+Flow Control
+------------
+Ethernet Flow Control (IEEE 802.3x) can be configured with ethtool to enable
+receiving and transmitting pause frames for ixgbe. When TX is enabled, PAUSE
+frames are generated when the receive packet buffer crosses a predefined
+threshold.  When rx is enabled, the transmit unit will halt for the time delay
+specified when a PAUSE frame is received.
 
-4. Verify that the interface works. Enter the following, where <IP_address>
-   is the IP address for another machine on the same subnet as the interface
-   that is being tested:
+Flow Control is enabled by default. If you want to disable a flow control
+capable link partner, use ethtool:
 
-     ping  <IP_address>
+     ethtool -A eth? autoneg off RX off TX off
 
+NOTE: For 82598 backplane cards entering 1 gig mode, flow control default
+behavior is changed to off.  Flow control in 1 gig mode on these devices can
+lead to Tx hangs.

+  Intel (R) 82576-based GbE or Intel (R) 82599-based 10GbE controller under KVM
+  -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+  KVM Hypervisor/VMM supports direct assignment of a PCIe device to a VM.  This
+  includes traditional PCIe devices, as well as SR-IOV-capable devices using
+  Intel 82576-based and 82599-based controllers.
+
+  While direct assignment of a PCIe device or an SR-IOV Virtual Function (VF)
+  to a Linux-based VM running 2.6.32 or later kernel works fine, there is a
+  known issue with Microsoft Windows Server 2008 VM that results in a "yellow
+  bang" error. This problem is within the KVM VMM itself, not the Intel driver,
+  or the SR-IOV logic of the VMM, but rather that KVM emulates an older CPU
+  model for the guests, and this older CPU model does not support MSI-X
+  interrupts, which is a requirement for Intel SR-IOV.
 
-  NAPI (Rx polling mode) is supported in the ixgbe driver.  NAPI is enabled
-  by default in the driver.
+  If you wish to use the Intel 82576 or 82599-based controllers in SR-IOV mode
+  with KVM and a Microsoft Windows Server 2008 guest try the following
+  workaround. The workaround is to tell KVM to emulate a different model of CPU
+  when using qemu to create the KVM guest:
