[OLSR-users] Re: Topology Question

[Aaron Kaplan]

hi Soumedra,

   the link below is an adaptation of the olsr dot_draw plugin. We  
just simply colored the links according to ETX values.

About maintaining the network: well, each participant in the mesh  
maintains it for him/herself. Once the mesh reaches a certain  
density / size, it will almost always find different routes in case  
one node is not maintained properly (i.e. crashes or so)

best regards,
a.
