[Olsr-dev] does the current Debian olsrd.conf work with a mesh?

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

This isn't one place, this is a pattern I see all over the city.  I think this situation will become more and more common as wifi spreads all over the world.  And these days, most of the world lives in cites, and most cities in the world are quite dense.

I'd love to see a visualization of the data in wigle.net in regards to channel utilitization.  Here you can see my neighborhood in Brooklyn, which is much less dense than Manhattan.  Each of those red dots is a wifi AP.  The streets without red dots have not been surveyed.

You can see even in California suburbia, there is also a lot of overlap:
