      gluon-ebtables: unconditionally segment IGMP/MLD · 17370d84
      Matthias Schiffer authored
      We must ensure that each node becomes IGMP/MLD querier for its local
      clients; having only a single querier for the whole mesh is generally
      unreliable, leading to frequent "IGMP/MLD querier appeared/disappeared"
      messages from batman-adv and unreliable snooping.
      
      In smaller meshes it might be interesting only segment querier domains, but
      allow membership reports to pass through the mesh, in order to support
      snooping switches outside the mesh without special configuration. A
      site.conf switch is provided to control this behaviour.
      
      Fixes #1320

      gluon-client-bridge: use a veth pair instead of macvlan to connect local-node to br-client · f238b011
      Matthias Schiffer authored
      macvlan interfaces never directly exchange traffic with the underlying
      interface, but only with other hosts behind the interface. In consequence,
      router advertisements from the uradvd running on br-client could never
      reach local-node, preventing it from getting an IPv6 address without RAs
      from an external radvd. Fix this be replacing the macvlan interface with
      a veth pair (with the peer interface in br-client).
      
      As a side effect, this saves about 5KB of flash, as the veth module is
      simpler than macvlan.

      ebtables-segment-mld: Segment IGMP/MLD domain · 4199b216
      Linus Lüssing authored
      
      This patch adds a new gluon-ebtables package to filter IGMP/MLD messages
      via ebtables.
      
      For one thing this reduces multicast overhead: About one third of all
      ICMPv6 multicast traffic in Lübeck or Hamburg is MLD.
      
      Furthermore it removes a potential Distributed Denial-of-Service vector
      (see Gluon ticket #553).
      
      Finally, it is a prerequisite for enabling bridge multicast snooping in
      a decentral and robust fashion.
      
      Note that IGMP/MLD are filtered for multicast traffic coming from
      the mesh, too (new MULTICAST_IN), as unfortunately there seem to
      be other queriers somewhere in the mesh at least for Freifunk
      Lübeck. Also adding these rules to be prepared to anyone intentionally
      or unintentionally disabling these filters on his/her node.
      
      Node operators not running Gluon (for instance gateway nodes) should
      make sure to either enable multicast_router towards bat0 or disable
      multicast snooping entirely if they have a bridge on top of bat0.
