<div dir="ltr"><div><div>Hello again,<br><br></div>I'm curious if anyone is aware of any benefits to using either of these methods for detecting Internet connectivity on a OpenWRT gateway node:<br><br></div>1. The "ping" parameter for dyn-gw plugin (readme for v0.6.5.4 below):<br>
<a href="https://github.com/opentechinstitute/olsrd/blob/release-0.6.5.4/lib/dyn_gw/README_DYN_GW">https://github.com/opentechinstitute/olsrd/blob/release-0.6.5.4/lib/dyn_gw/README_DYN_GW</a><br clear="all"><div><div><div>
<br></div><div>2. The freifunk-gwcheck scripting-based tool:<br><a href="http://luci.subsignal.org/trac/browser/luci/trunk/contrib/package/freifunk-gwcheck">http://luci.subsignal.org/trac/browser/luci/trunk/contrib/package/freifunk-gwcheck</a><br>
<br></div><div>I had been trying out freifunk-gwcheck with its default config on nodes running olsrd v0.6.5.4 and with SmartGateway enabled. However, I was finding gateway nodes occasionally losing their default route entirely after outages in their upstream Internet connection. That is, freifunk-gwcheck would detect the outage and modify node's local routing table, but it would apparently not recover when the outage was resolved. I'm not asking on this list for any further into about freifunk-gwcheck operation, as this is not the right venue.<br>
</div><div><br></div><div>The ping parameter for the dyn-gw plugin, however, looks like it might be a better option, as it does not modify the routing table. Still, that plugin is now a few years old. Are there any known interoperability issues with dyn-gw ping parameter and the SmartGateway plugin?<br>
