From bd13b616aa9d082dce760759b7473da5ed399452 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Marek Lindner Date: Fri, 7 May 2010 21:47:08 +0200 Subject: Staging: batman-adv: fix aggregation timing bug MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit batman-adv aggregates routing packets to reduce the number of packets in the air. Every outgoing packet is compared with other packets in the buffer to determine whether it can be aggregated or not. Packets sent at a lower interval can be held back longer to maximize the aggregation. Due to insufficient checking batman-adv held back all packets for a certain time depending on its own lowest interval rate which slowed down all other nodes.
