[Babel-users] Babel and hwsim virtual wireless interfaces

[Juliusz Chroboczek]

>> interface hwsim0 wired false

> I just want to know if Babel recognises the interface as wired or wireless.

Do ``kill -USR1 $(cat /var/run/babel.pid)''.

Babel will dump its internal tables to the log file.  For each
neighbour, it will say something like

  Neighbour fe80::cc78:f832:a600:e20e dev beta reach ffff rxcost 96 txcost 96

Assuming you didn't tweak the interface costs, if the rxcost is always
either 96 or 65535, the interface is recognised as wired.  If the rxcost
oscillates smoothly between 256 and 65535, then the interface is
wireless.
