C08-BA: Yes
Archived previous-definition assessment — revision 4.72. Retired in 5.73; excluded from the active matrix and counts. This historical verdict is not a current assessment.
Rationale
The selected native forwarding service can operate without a persistent final-peer traffic history. Current originator/client tables are reachability state, not a required communication archive. Linux documentation makes detailed route/translation tracing optional; disable such tracing and external capture. This does not hide live MAC addresses.
Assessment method
Primary-document analysis and selected-profile inference; no execution
Source context
Linux 6.12 batman-adv documentation
Outstanding qualification
Inspect Linux 6.12 with optional batman-adv tracing and external packet capture disabled. Inventory memory, logs, telemetry and backups after traffic and after route/client expiry. Distinguish live reachability tables from communication history. No execution performed.
