[OLSR-users] Re: Topology Question

[Soumendra Nanda]

Hi

http://sandwich.funkfeuer.at/topo/

How did you guys generate that above map?

Thats a pretty big OLSR setup.

How do you guys monitor and manage that network? Do you just rely on
manual monitoring and calling up people on the phone or via a message
board or email?

Thanks
Soumendra
