my point is that a well-designed link-state protocol is hard (modulo bugs)
to get de-synced ... the real problem scope is not so much the matter
of protocol choice but rather fixing the problem of
"my default gw does NAT" ... clearly the source-routing protocols have
an advantage here, however as mentioned before there is tunelling which
gives the ingress some control.

introducing an auto-tunneling infrastructure would also be beneficiary
for the phased approach of V6. (olsr speakers shall automatically create
V6 tunnels in order to connect islands) - i really dilike the prevailing
all-V6 or nothing approach ...

me thinks that there are all the olsr-ng developers on this list, which
makes it a perfect formum to discuss this sort of extensions ...
