[OLSR-users] Fast Roaming Nodes

[Jaime Vargas]

I doubt than a doppler shift of less than 0.00004% will become a
problem on locking the signal.

Imho, most of the problems will arise from delays at  the MAC layer,
especially during the handshake, that is in the authentication and
association phases.  However, I know this can be optimzed down
to 20ms, which leave 980ms to forward packets.

Of course the routing delays become important. Has anyone
charectirezed OLSR regarding route change propagation?

We are considering putting the AP inside the train and use EVDO
uplinks. But the negotiation process with the train operator will be
easier if we don't modify their carts.
