[Olsr-dev] Client Roaming Plugin

[Markus Kittenberger]

Hi

some weeks ago we (henning & me) were chatting about similar stuff,..

we had 2 approaches in mind afair

one with a a lightweight client app (with no need to have root privileges)
(the benefit of this would be to reuse olsrd linksensing, and imho easier  
switching to another "master")

and the second approach was very similar to yours.
we where also thinking to use hnas to announce the client

but hans introduce problems on handovers,.. (as they need some time to  
time-out)

i think this is what u want to achieve/cure with "new olsrd" messages?

btw. does your plugin require a distinct interface or VAP or is your  
plugin capable of providing same functinoality on an alias ip of the adhoc  
interface (that olsrd is using aswell)?
