Base)? What is the difference between flat, correct and approx.</span></font></i><i><font
size=2 color=black face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Arial;

<br>
Yes.<br>
flat: every route gets "2" if the route is send to the kernel. This<br>
avoids route changes just because the metric of a route changed and it<br>
isn't necessary anyway.<br>
<br>
correct: The metric on "ip route" is always the correct one.<br>
<br>
approx: olsrd sets the correct metric but doesn't update because because<br>
of route changes. So the metric value "ip route" is not necessarily<br>
correct.<o:p></o:p></span></font></i></p>
