     In addition, options specific to the batman-adv routing protocol can be set

-    The optional value *gw_sel_class* sets the gateway selection class. The
-    default is class ``20``, which is based on the link quality (TQ) only; class ``1``
-    is calculated from both the TQ and the announced bandwidth.

+    The optional value *routing_algo* allows to set up ``BATMAN_V`` based meshes. 
     If unset, the routing algorithm will default to ``BATMAN_IV``.

+    The optional value *gw_sel_class* sets the gateway selection class, the
+    default is ``20`` for B.A.T.M.A.N. IV and ``5000`` kbit/s for B.A.T.M.A.N. V.

+    - **B.A.T.M.A.N. IV:** with the value ``20`` the gateway is selected based
+      on the link quality (TQ) only; with class ``1`` it is calculated from
+      both, the TQ and the announced bandwidth.
+    - **B.A.T.M.A.N. V:** with the value ``1500`` the gateway is selected if the
+      throughput is at least 1500 kbit/s faster than the throughput of the
+      currently selected gateway.
