[OLSR-users] Long shoot test

[Andreas Tønnesen]

Hi,

We saw the same stuff happen at the test at WoS3. But it's hard for me
to recreate it here... But hopefully 0.4.5 takes care of it.

HELLO interval is set staically. So if you wan fewer messages to be
emitted you will have to set this in the config file. You could
however write a plugin that changes the intervals dynamically.
But it's very hard to say what parameters you should consider when
adjusting the intervals. Remember that HELLOS are not unicased over
links - they are broadcasted. So if slowing down the HELLOS is based
on fixed links the discovery of new(and lost) neighbors will suffer.
