The position on the node itself can be provided by GPS (or other source) directly, or loopback parameter (PlParam "useLoopback" "true").

The cluster leader mechanism is for multiple MANET clusters, connected via central server(s).

The design choice is to have less dependency for uplink, each node is responsible sending its position to the central server. Probably at costs of a unicast message to (smart)gateway in the OLSR cluster, which would be redundant to the flooded position update message. Also, the uplink has to message aggregation.

In contrast, downlink from central server to cluster leader is highly optimized.

I would like to avoid having each node uplinking individually and be able to accessbasically access the first node you find with the server and immediately receive all GPS info from the entire OLSR network via that node at any given time).
