I wish there as a simulation model for this so we can play with the various values and see what happens... you know, just to understand how this would work without having to actually deploy the nodes in a real neighborhood, which takes a lot of social engineering. <div>
<br></div><div>For example, the values would include type of node (air interface only or both LAN and air), Tx gain, Rx gain, average number of neighbors, etc...</div><div><br></div><div> <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

<div>Thanks Aaron,</div><div><br></div>Does that mean that OLSR is optimized to work best when having a lot of nodes in the network each with a small radius of 2-way coverage...? and that increasing the radius of 2-way coverage per node (for all nodes) degrades performance?<div>
