[Olsr-dev] Testsetup

[David Murray]

Hi Resul,

I think your testbed should reflect the scenario that you are testing 
for. Perhaps the cheapest way would be to go an buy 5 Linksys WRT 
routers. Another option, that may give you additional flexibility to 
change and modify parts of OLSR is to use small form factor PCs. In the 
past I have bought a whole bunch of celeron 700Mhz machines with two pci 
slots from a company who was getting rid of them. If you wanted new 
stuff you could look at some of the VIA EPIA PC's. Another option is to 
go for more serious embedded platform. I use the WRAP/ALIX platform but 
there are many others out there.

To summarize, I think you need to define your aims a little better 
before you look into buying 4 -5 nodes specifically for OLSR. Have you 
installed it on a few PC's to get the an idea of how it works?

Best of luck
Dave
