Client-roaming is a BATMAN-specific concept, that doesn't make sense in
Babel.  There's no such thing as "client roaming" in Babel, since Babel
doesn't have the notion of "client" -- it's a pure peer-to-peer protocol.

So rather than using non-standard terms that mean nothing in this
context, why don't you tell us what you're trying to do, and we'll tell
you how it can be done with Babel.

Probably.  Babel is designed to be more modular than BATMAN, many things
that BATMAN implements in the kernel module are done by separate daemons
with Babel.

Yes.
