<div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">I think this setup will be difficult for 3-channel devices (3 routers<br>
connected by switches), </blockquote><div></div><div>my testsetup consists of a linksys with 2 foneras attached as bridge and 1 5ghz bridge,... and olsr runs on 4 interfaces </div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">
because we will not know which channel/router<br>
received the package. This is not important now, but it will become important<br>
for MIC metric (channel/collision aware routing).</blockquote><div></div><div></div><div>The current limitation is only the cpu power and vlan ability of the main router, as we seperate different bridges using vlans (a practice we already use with 5ghz bridge-devices)</div>
<div></div><div>On an linksys/buffalo you can configure up to 15 vlans, but usually you will only want to use 4 bridges with them as you only have 5 ethernet ports (and you probably want 1 downlink), but you can use up to 15 when using an additional external switch (which at least passes vlan tags), with nested vlans maybe even more but i never tried/needed it</div>
<div></div><div>if the main roter has no built in vlan limitation you can make your setup as big as you want as you will never havbe more than 4096 routers on a single place (-;</div><div></div><div>to make configuration of this bridges easier we plan to make an ipkg for the main router handling the vlans and olsr configuration, and integrates configuration of the bridges into the webgui of the main router (wireless settings, wlan scanning)</div>
<div></div><div>the bridges itself have no gui at the moment, using only an autoconfiguration script to detect the main router, and choose a locally unique management ip for themselve</div></div></div>
