[OLSR-users] generic traffic shaping to priorize olsr messages

[Jens Nachtigall]

Hi,

at the MITRoofNet they discoverd that their ad-hoc net worked ok, when 
their was little traffic. With loads of traffic the routes got lost. 
Why? Because the Routing messages by the ad-hoc routing protocol did 
not come through anymore. I expect the same to happen with olsr.

Therefore, I thought of writing a traffic shaping script, based on 
hierachical token bucket (htb) and tc. The shortcoming of this idea is 
that it will only work on linux (which needs to be compiled with htb 
support). Any other ideas on how to overcome the above problem (for 
other OSes) in a generic way?
