Since "routing" and "switching" have a defined meaning ans semantics in
the networking world, I would rather use it.
The point was: IMHO the question can be trivially answered if one
understands the different OSI layers.

Well, if the layer 2 already lets your mesh appear as in one layer 3
broadcast domain, there is no need to have, run or use OLSR.
The analogy of the cable world is IMHO: If you have a LAN with normal
switches, why should you use RIP, OSPF, or any other routing protocol
with in that net?
