[OLSR-users] link quality / forcing hops

[Andreas Tønnesen]

The easy(but dirty) way to solve this is to just block the MAC address of
57 at 51(and vica verca - tough that's not actually neccesary).
Do:
iptables -A INPUT -m mac --mac-source MAC_ADDRESS -j DROP

As far as I can see there is no way to prevent this in OLSR without adding
link quality testing. That is if all OLSR messages get trough. If some 
messages
are lost then hysteresis could be used - but you could still experience some
bursty connection... So I think the MAC blocking soultion is the 
simplest one!
