the response part does not reflect my understanding. -

what i am envisioning is:

1. a unicast small packet plus a unicast large packet.
2. both packets shall carry timestamps and be sequence
    number protected.
3. based on the arrival time the receiver can calculate the
    air-bandwidth and
4. attach that rx-bandwidth to a neighbor advertisement
    in a new TBD OLSRDv2 TLV
5. during SPF calculation the average bandwidth between
    a pair of neighbors is computed. the inverse
    average bandwidth is multiplied with ETX.
