[OLSR-users] Configuring MANET Routers

[Ben McCarthy]

Hi Patrick,

No this isn't what I was meaning sorry, what I meant was:

If you have two MANET nodes connected to one another directly and sharing
routes using OLSRd, and they each have a number of hosts attached to them
that aren't taking part in the OLSR exchange (i.e. they are normal hosts) as
follows..

     192.168.1.2             192.168.2.2
    [Fixed Host 1]          [Fixed Host 3]
          -                       -
           -                     -
192.168.1.1	-[MR 1]-------[MR 2]- 192.168.2.1
           -                     -
          -                       -
    [Fixed Host 2]          [Fixed Host 4]
     192.168.1.3             192.168.2.3

Can MR 1 and MR 2 share their network prefixs 192.168.1 and 192.168.2 so
that Fixed Host 1 can send packets to Fixed Host 3 via MR 1 and in turn MR 1
will have a route to Fixed Host 3 because it will forward them towards MR
2's prefix. At present my MRs any swap their exact addresses so any hosts
behind the MR can't be reached.

Sorry for being ambiguous in my first mail.

Thanks,

Ben
