I have switched to BATMAN advanced which runs on layer 2. However I am still not seeing the avahi services across the hop. If all my nodes are within range of each other, I do see all the services. But as soon as I move one out of range so that it needs to use another node as a hop, I lose the services even though the node that is providing the hop sees the services from all the other nodes. <div> <br></div><div>Its weird because with BATMAN advanced, it says it runs at layer 2 so your ethernet communications should be transparent. Does this make sense that it still is not working? </div><div><br></div><div>I don't really have any gateways in my network. But I suppose the hop node works as one. However in an ad-hoc network there is no way to tell if you are going to be the hop or not.
