Announcing networks

Under certain circumstances it is desirable to make non-batman hosts (such as servers,
subnets, other routing domains or simple notebooks) known to the batman network. Batman
can announce these network addresses (also known as HNA) which tells every other batman
node to send the data for this network segment back to the announcing host (assuming
this host knows how to reach the destination).

All following examples can also be applied as startup parameters. For the sake of simplicity
we assume there is a running batman daemon on the system that we can connect to.

Adding the announcement for e.g. the local network:
batmand -c -a 192.168.1.0/24

Adding multiple announcements in one go:
batmand -c -a 192.168.1.0/24 -a 192.168.100.123/32

Revoking an announcement:
batmand -c -A 192.168.1.0/24

Revoking multiple announcements in one go:
batmand -c -A 192.168.1.0/24 -A 192.168.100.123/32

It is worth noting that globally announced networks always give precendece to locally
announced networks.

Important: The above examples explain how the batman nodes can find the path
towards the non-batman network but you also have to ensure that the non-batman network
knows the path back. This can be accomplished by setting the routes manually,
masquerading, routing protocols, etc.

Batman 0.3.2 (and later versions) allow multiple nodes to announce the same network
segment. You may have one non-batman network but several entry points to it. All border
nodes can announce the same network. Receiving batman nodes choose their entry point
based on the best TQ value available.
