thankyou for the reply.<br><br>PC1--PC2--PC3<br><br>According to the mdns topolgy for OLSRd, does it mean I need to have two routers r1 and r2 every time to relay mDNS messages?<br><br>Is there any plugin which supports avahi when the end users have olsr protocol running?<br><br>thanks in advance<br>max<br><br><br>> Date: Wed, 8 Jun 2011 10:06:52 +0200<br>> Subject: Re: [Olsr-users] AVAHI on OLSRd<br>> From: zioproto@gmail.com<br>> To: ipmax2011@hotmail.com<br>> CC: hrogge@googlemail.com; olsr-users@lists.olsr.org; clauz@ninux.org<br>> <br>> > I loaded the plugin for mdns in all three machines PC1--PC2--PC3<br>> <br>> Hello,<br>> <br>> I'm sorry you cannot use the mDNS plugin with this topology.<br>> <br>> In the readme:<br>> http://goo.gl/rgcPV<br>> <br>> go to line 29.<br>> <br>> As you can see the mDNS plugin expects the OLSR routers to be the core<br>> of the network and the end users with Avahi not speaking the OLSR<br>> protocol.<br>> <br>> The users are in a network announced by HNA from the OLSR router that<br>> captures the mDNS traffic forward it to the other routers where other<br>> users are present in the delegated HNA networks. This is the idea<br>> behind the plugin, it is not for the avahi on the routers it self.<br>> <br>> I suggest your read the README. If you still have doubt also this<br>> document goes really into the details:<br>> http://zioproto.ninux.org/download/publications/mdns-plugin-paper.pdf<br>> <br>> feel free to write back on the mailing list if you have further questions :)<br>> <br>> Saverio<br> </body>
