[Olsr-dev] reduce OLSR bandwidth by tuning emission intervals

[Teco Boot]

We had this discussions on large scale VPNs before. I suggested to not using OLSR on VPN tunnels. I use the tunnel keep-alive for state, and let all routers set up their own tunnel. I have any to any connectivity with only few keep-alives on each VPN tunnel. This works well with many borders. Scales to thousands of nodes, not to mention millions. Depends on backbone routing and number of VPN servers. We know how to make that work nicely.

Today, I use route injection in backbone with OpenVPN scripts (and quagga to inject in OSPF backbone). I use certificate common_name and transform to route prefix. Generic implementation may need some adjustments here, either better suited attribute in certificate, lookup in table or signaling the prefix with some kind of TC message.

Tuning OLSR doesn't help that much. As Hanning says: because sender of TC (etc.) messages mandates the interval for the whole OLSR network.
