[Olsr-dev] Routing across multiple interfaces

[Aaron Kaplan]

General remark:
dropped routes due to fragmented TC messages were a bug in 0.5.4
same with NLQ=0 (i.e. the ETX was considered 0)
(this seems to have only happened in bigger networks)

please update to the most current version:
http://olsrd.sourceforge.net/hg/olsrd/archive/tip.tar.gz


And do report bugs in 0.5.5 please :)

a.

what is the netmask? by the way, olsrd works with hoste routes.
the nodes can all be from the same network and in the same netmaks.
Even different interfaces are allowed to be in the same subnet

can you specify what you mean exactly by mismatch in in routing tree  
version?
