From 28709878b6a7d15362ba63bde01d42c38f88be9d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Simon Wunderlich Date: Thu, 13 Sep 2012 18:18:46 +0200 Subject: batman-adv: wait multiple periods before activating bla For some reasons (bridge forward delay, network device setup order, etc) the initial bridge loop avoidance announcement packets may be lost. This may lead to problems in finding other backbone gws, and therfore create loops in the startup time. Fix this by extending the waiting periods to 3 (define can be changed) before allowing broadcast traffic.
