Archived criterion

F35-BA: Yes

Archived previous-definition assessment — revision 5.73. Retired in 5.82; excluded from the active matrix and counts. This historical verdict is not a current assessment.

Rationale

A deployment replaces a connecting Ethernet segment with batman-adv mesh bridges while attached client machines retain their existing Ethernet protocol stacks and applications.

Assessment method

Primary documentary capability assessment; no new runtime experiment

Source context

Primary protocol specification or pinned implementation; selected-composition assessment

Outstanding qualification

The unchanged endpoints are attached non-mesh clients. Mesh forwarding equipment must install/configure batman-adv; this does not claim that the mesh nodes themselves need no changes.
