Hi,<br><br>OLSR is a IP routing protocol like OSPF , EIGRP except more radio aware, it makes the routing tables aware of the possible paths a data packet can take to reach its destination IP.<br><br>OLSR broadcasts "Hello" packets over the network for network discovery.Your data packets can be TCP or UDP.<br>
<br>There is a OLSR port for windows which i had used , but i dont see it under downloads link @ <a href="http://olsr.org">olsr.org</a><br><br clear="all">Vinay Menon<br>

<p><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">I need to have embedded nodes running OLSRd. This mesh needs
to keep communicating to windows PC. The needs to send/ receive IP packets
to/from the mesh nodes.</span></font></p>

<p style="margin-left: 0.25in;"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"> a. In this
configuration I think I can do passive listening. But could I actually send
commands to the network ? If possible how ? Should I just wrap my data in OLSR
format ?</span></font></p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.25in;"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></font></p>

<p><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"> b. If it is possible to
interface windows PC to OLSR mesh, do I have to implement a plugin ? Please
explain.</span></font></p>

<p><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"> c. I tried building the OLSR
code on cygwin. It gave error. Please tell if anyone tried OLSRd on windows PC.</span></font></p>
