[Olsr-dev] Migration from olsrd v1 to v2

[Bastian Rosner]

Quagga and OLSRv1 can exchange routes via plugins.
Bird and OLSRv2 can exchange routes via kernel tables.
Quagga and Bird can exchange routes via BGP.

Doesn't that mean that we can somehow exchange routes between OLSRv1 
and OLSRv2 via BGP? Am i missing something?
Of course we would loose metrics, at least in case of routes exported 
to a OLSRv1 mesh as HNA.

Cheers
Bastian
