[Olsr-dev] Multipath routing in OLSRD

[Ralf Lübben]

One example can be found here:
http://www.firewall.cx/ftopict-3080.html

E.g.: iptables marks packets based on some statistics (packet or flow basis), 
based on the marking a routing table is chosen.

The iptables module is renamed from "nth" to "statistics", see 
"iptables -m statistic -h"
