Staging: batman-adv: 32bit sequence number and TTL for broadcasts
This patch changes the sequence number range from 8 or 16 bit to 32 bit.
This should avoid problems with the sequence number sliding window algorithm
which we had seen in the past for broadcast floods or malicious packet
injections. We can not assure 100% security with this patch, but it is quite
an improvement over the old 16 bit sequence numbers:
* expected window size can be increased (4096 -> 65536)
* 64k packets in the right order would now be needed to cause a loop,
which seems practically impossible.
Furthermore, a TTL field has been added to the broadcast packet type, just to
make sure.
These changes required to increase the compatibility level once again.
