or wherein (b) the first longitudinal franzes and first lateral schusses are configured such that the spacing of the first longitudinal franzes decreases by a first percentage when elongating the knitted netting by 20% or when elongating the knitted netting by 50% of a target elongation, the target elongation being from 15% to 400% of the production length of the knitted netting, and the elongation indicator being configured such that the spacing of the indicator franzes decreases by a second percentage when elongating the knitted netting by 20% or when elongating the knitted netting by 50% of the target elongation, wherein the ratio of the second percentage to the first percentage is larger than 1.5; and wherein the at least one indicator schuss has at least one specific characteristic that is different from the corresponding at least one characteristic of the first lateral schusses, the at least one specific characteristic being at least one of the following: length of the at least one indicator schuss, position of connection points of the at least one indicator schuss to the indicator franzes, number of connection points of the at least one indicator schuss to the indicator franzes, knitting geometry, knitting pattern, tensile resistance of the at least one indicator schuss, and material of the at least one indicator schuss. first longitudinal franzes, first lateral schusses, at least two second longitudinal franzes, and at least one second lateral schuss, the schusses (120, 125) knitted with the franzes (110, 115) to form the knitted netting, characterized in that the second lateral schuss is an indicator schuss, the second longitudinal franzes are indicator franzes, and the indicator schuss is knitted with the indicator franzes to form an elongation indicator for indicating the amount of longitudinal stretching of the knitted netting, and wherein (a) the first longitudinal franzes and first lateral schusses are configured such that the spacing of the first longitudinal franzes decreases by less than 10% when elongating the knitted netting by 20% or when elongating the knitted netting by 50% of a target elongation, the target elongation being from 15% to 400% of the production length of the knitted netting, and the elongation indicator being configured such that the spacing of the indicator franzes decreases by more than 10% when elongating the knitted netting by 20% or when elongating the knitted netting by 50% of the target elongation;
