I already suggested this month ago after discussion on the freifunk
mailinglists, but got no answer from any dev. One problem could be, that
all olsr clients must be use this patch or it could cause routing loops.
This was more or less my question :)
But i stopped working on olsr, its a dead protocol for me.

i suggested to have a per interface setting between 0.0 and 1.0 which
will be substraced on the nodes neighbor connections. this way you can
tune a little bit like setting 1.0 for lan connections, 0.8 for
backbones and 0.0 for normal connections etc.

kindly regards
 daniel
