[Olsr-dev] neighbors throughput estimation

[Henning Rogge]

Hi,

Olsrd2 is already doing something like this by combining the raw link speed
with the estimated (broadcast) frame loss (see RFC7779,. Directional
Airtime Metric).

It might be a good approach for a measurement plugin to put its measured
value into the "layer2 database" and extend the current routing metric that
it can use this value. Another option would be to write a second routing
metric plugin.
