[OLSR-users] network problems

[Andrew Hodel]

Our network, with 23 nodes is having serious issues with packet loss
and dying connections on a few nodes.  Regardless of a route change,
should ssh stay connected?  We have rts at 64 and frag set to 256, ssh
last about 3 seconds on any route over 3 hops.  We have tried rate
5.5M fixed to avoid lossy links.  You can't even view 640x480 images
on the web, by the time the image is finished the connection has
dropped and you get 1/3 of it.  LQ on the links is reported as 1 or
.9, at the lowest .8 and these are the links with problems.  Is there
anything I can do to fix this, would hysterisis resolve this?

You can view an image of our network at: http://www.nxwi.com/pa_map.png

Nodes # 17,5,19,6,22,8,and 7 have these problems.  I realize they are
the farthest, however the LQ is .9 or 1.

The hna node is node 1.



Any ideas?



Thanks,
Andrew
