Known issues
~~~~~~~~~~~~

* gluon-mesh-batman-adv-15: batman-adv compat 15 doesn't handle fragmentation correctly when there are multiple different MTUs involved. In particular,
this breaks transmission of large packets which are first fragmented for mesh-on-lan/wan and are then sent over the mesh VPN, which has an even smaller MTU.

We hope this will be fixed in batman-adv soon, until then we can't really recommend anything but to avoid mesh-on-lan/wan with gluon-mesh-batman-adv-15.
batman-adv compat 15 doesn't re-fragment frames that are fragmented already. In particular,
this breaks transmission of large packets which are first fragmented for mesh-on-lan/wan and are then sent
over the mesh VPN, which has an even smaller MTU. Work around this limitation by decreasing the maximum fragment
size to 1280, so they can always be forwarded as long there's no link with a MTU smaller than 1280.
