<br><br>I had a look at PACMAN a year ago, it is not working with the current olsrd<br>release, also it only works on linux. But the ideas of pacman as described in<br>the paper, are quite good, if I remember right. So if were you, i would read
<br>that paper and reimplement these ideas all from scratch in a olsrd plugin.<br>The algos in the paper are enough to get it working, afaikr.</blockquote><div><br>Yes, it's the path that we would follow. PACMAN works as a daemon such that olsrd is not aware of his existence (as far as I'm concerned). The idea was to turn this code into an olsrd plugin in order to work closely with olsrd.

the enhancements like etx. I think in the freifunk firmware, which most<br>meshes use, also the MPRs are switched off, i.e. every node behaves linke an<br>MPR. So the hierarchie is flat. This is because, the MPR idea did not work
<br>out.</blockquote><div><br>I didn't know that... it sounds quite frustrating. MPR seemed to be a good idea...<span onclick="dr4sdgryt2(event)" style="cursor: pointer;"></span><br> </div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
Good luck on implementing. Rather get started, there are already so many<br>papers on meshes, but code is rare ;-)<br><br>All the best,</blockquote><div><br>Thanks!<br><br>Pitu.<br> </div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
