batman-adv: ELP - send unicast ELP packets for throughput sampling

Browse source

In case of an unused wireless link, the mac80211 throughput estimation
won't get updated further. Consequently, the reported throughput metric
will become obsolete.

With this patch unicast sampling is introduced by periodically sending
unicast ELP packets to each neighbor on idle WiFi links. These sampling
packets will fill an entire frame, so that the measurement is as
reliable as possible
