[OLSR-users] Re: OLSR Network Dying

[John Gorkos]

This brings up an interesting learning point for me.
I find it preferable to use a netmask of 255.255.255.0 and a broadcast address 
of 192.168.7.255 for all of my olsr nodes.  This makes it possible to 
manually hop from node to node in case olsrd goes down for some reason 
without having to stuff in a bunch of host routers.  Is this not how things 
are "supposed" to work?  Is my broadcast "wrong".  Worse yet, am I flooding 
my network inadvertently?
