Re: [lime-users] Internet failover

This feature was present in the previous releases for BMX6 [2] (and BMX7 [3]) something similar is present for Batman-adv [4] (no idea in which case this makes sense, as seems that "Batman-adv only" networks are not supported [5]). All these old packages used the watchping package for checking internet connection. Now we have the check-internet script which is much more reliable [6]. I am not sure how a "babeld-auto-gw" could communicate to Babeld to stop sharing the default (0.0.0.0/0) route. I can think of two ways: 1) edit the kernel route (e.g. increasing the metric and setting "reflect-kernel-metric true" Babeld option) and then send a SIGUSR2 to Babeld process (see [7] for Babeld manual) 2) edit the Babeld configuration via UCI for stopping the distribution of the default route and instruct Babeld to reload configuration (the init script will automatically do so once the uci configuration is edited and reload_config is executed, otherwise it can be done manually with /etc/init.d/babeld reload [8]). I agree that this feature would be verrrrry useful. We could continue the discussion on the issue [1]. Ciao!
