[Olsr-dev] OLSR IPs for node with multiple interfaces

[Markus Kittenberger]

just assume 10.0.0.3 is another router with olsrd on it,..

then there won`t be a problem, cause of hostroutes is pointing to it,..

in fact in vienna the routing only works cause of hostroutes, ...

routing based on subnetmasks won`t work in most cases,
thats why some of us use 255.255.255.255 as subnetmask, which is even more
ugly/bad, but wont`t generate useless/problematic kernel (subnet-) routes,
and reduces at least useless arp lookups,..

i still can`t imagine a mesh net with working subnetroutes, (-;
i just realizy that olsrd is used with much more different network
configurations as i could imagine,.. (-;

will one olsrd really interpretate packets he sent himself???

i never seen a link between 2 interfaces, but in fact i never tried, usually
we have one lan interface and one wifi,..

but i will try, cause i`m working on simulated multiple wifi devices
(borrowed from another router, on a multi-router node,..)
