There is (ofcause :-) ) a max limit to the outputbuffers of olsrd as the 
implementation is today, so that OLSR packets never exceed the MTU. Also 
single OLSR messages will be chopped of they are to big to fit into the 
MTU buffer.

I'll see if I can add single TC/HELLO/MID/HNA options. Still this is not 
all that trivial since forwarded packets TC/MID/HNA are to be buffered 
for a certain time before forwarding (to avoid collissions)... I think 
the easiest way will be to have a stackHelloPackets yes/no option that 
controls HELLO emission, but leaves the forwarded messages stacked. But 
that's just from an implementation viewpoint, it might be better to have 
a stackMessages yes/no option...
