[Ferry Huberts]

IMHO you shouldn't abuse olsr (a routing protocol) to distribute user data.

Just implement a data grid on top.
There are plenty products out there.

Unless you drop) same with services once advertised the service currently exists indefinitely and doesn't ever get removed until the device falls off the network for missing packets.
