[Olsr-dev] Poor routing performance

[Octav Chipara]

Hi,

I've been trying to use OLSR on small testbed of mesh nodes. The meshboxes
are running linux and i'm running OLSR on my laptop under OS X.
Unfortunately, it looks like I'm getting very poor performance. I'm sitting
very close to a mesh node and I'm getting very long routes. I have the etx
extension enabled. The state information from my node (.62) is at the end of
the email. I was expecting to have a direct link to .81, however, it looks
like for whatever reason according to ping -R my route goes through .81. I'm
not sure if this is related to the problems I'm observing or not, but every
now and them I'm noticing some errors such as:

Cannot write to routing socket: (rtm_errno= 0x0) (last error message: File
exists)

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
