[OLSR-users] UDP packet size.

Hi John,

[prevent IP packet fragmentation]

olsrd 0.4.8 limits the size of the transmitted UDP packets to the sending
interface's MTU. This is meant to prevent fragmentation.

However, doing this is not enough. olsrd shouldn't limit the UDP payload
size to the MTU but to the MTU minus the size of an IP header minus the
size of a UDP header. This is fixed in CVS and in 0.4.9.
