[3/3] batman-adv: send DHCP requests directly to the chosen gw
Commit Message
If the gateway client mode is active batman-adv will send the broadcasted
DHCP requests via unicast to the currently selected best gateway. Therefore
attached clients can profit from batman's knowledge about the network
topology.

Say the DHCP server is running in client mode. It has also been
requested to broadcast its replies, not unicast the replies.

If i'm reading this code correctly, it will end up sending the DHCP
reply messages by unicast to the best gateway, not the DHCP client?

I don't really get your question.
The batman-adv gwclient will encapsulate the DHCP discover / request packets
in ethernet unicast headers instead of broadcast headers to make sure only the
best gateway receives these broadcasts.
The server's replies won't be affected at all.

Ah, just read the RFC. I though the client was free to choose its
port, so it could choose port 67. If that was true, gw_is_target()
would return true for the reply and the reply would then be sent to
the gateway.
However, the RFC says the client must use port 68, so this can never
happen. So there is no problem here...
