[Olsr-dev] packet sequence number

[Andreas Tønnesen]

Please provide examples. Olsrd maintains one seqno pr. interface
in olsrd_seqnum in the interface struct(interface.h).
This value is appended and incremented in every transmission on
that interface in the net_output function(net_olsr.c).
IMO this is what the RFC requires.
