Virtual interface drivers such as tun / tap interfaces, VLAN, etc tend to initialize the interface throughput with some value for the sake of having a throughput number to export via ethtool. This exported throughput leaves batman-adv to conclude the interface throughput is genuine (reflecting reality), thus no measurements are necessary. Based on the observation that those interface types also tend to set the link auto-negotiation to 'off', batman-adv shall check this setting to differentiate between genuine link throughput information and placeholders installed by virtual interfaces. The "default throughput" setting exported via sysfs still allows to configure the batman-adv throughput for the interface, thus disabling the measurements.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
