<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>

</div></div>Let's not forget that OLSRd runs on BSD, Win32 and OSx.<br>
