[Olsr-dev] etx

I'm not sure I understand what you are exactly using for calculating the
link cost... can you maybe post the formula that calculates the new ETX
metric from the old one and the timestamp of both packets involved ?

You are combining your new ETX plugin with a normal one ? Or are you using
two of your plugins ?

What does "tcpdump -i <interface> -n -s 0 -vv port 698" says to your packets
?
