Yes, it's the path that we would follow. PACMAN works as a daemon such that
olsrd is not aware of his existence (as far as I'm concerned). The idea was
to turn this code into an olsrd plugin in order to work closely with olsrd.

I didn't know that... it sounds quite frustrating. MPR seemed to be a good
idea...


Good luck on implementing. Rather get started, there are already so many

Thanks!
