[Olsr-dev] Custom Routing Metrics

[Henning Rogge]

Hi,

olsrd2 implements its routing metric completely in a plugin.

olsrd (v1) does it "partly"... there are some hidden traps when you
try to change the routing metrics of olsrd.

If you are interested in working on a new routing metric for olsrd2 I
would be happy to help you.
