[OLSR-users] Same IP address for several interfaces

[Ignacio García Pérez]

Whoa, now that's a quick reply.

Thanks for the links. I've followed the small thread and indeed my scenario
is one in which same ip address for several (a lot!) of interfaces is
clearly convenient.

So far, the only drawback I see is in switched networks in which interfaces
are in the same physical network. Interfaces will all reply to ARP requests,
and the requesting node will use (as far as I know) the last ARP reply,
rendering all but that interface useless in practice.

Of course, in my case all interfaces are *always* in different physical
networks... so this is not a problem.

I would really like to try a setup like the one I described, however, I
cannot afford that, since I have about 30 nodes which are spread throughout
a city 500km away from our headquarters (yes, we have technicians there, but
none of them capable of handling this low level stuff), and if anything goes
wrong, I will have to physically get to each of them...

I have a small stup of three nodes here that I may try. Do you know if the
your patch has been merged into the upcoming 0.4.8 version ?
