Hi all,<br><br>I'm currently attempting to set up an OLSR-based mesh network using 4 Linux boxes. The OLSRd daemon is running fine, and the topology table as well as the routing table looks ok. However, due to the fact that the 4 nodes are next to each other (in a lab environment), the transfer of data is through direct connection, which actually negates the effects of OLSR on the performance of the mesh.
<br><br>Hence, I would like to know if it is possible to force the data to go through another node before reaching the destination. If so, how can I do it? I have tried to add one more wireless interface on the destination, such that ath0 has address
<a href="http://10.0.0.4">10.0.0.4</a> with route metric 30 and ath1 has address <a href="http://10.0.0.5">10.0.0.5</a> with route metric 10. But then the problem here is that if I send data out to one IP address, then I am totally bypassing the route metric system.
<br><br>Suggestions?<br><br>Thanks,<br>Ong Chin Kiat<br>
