[Olsr-users] 802.11S

[Filipe Abrantes]

When using an 802.11s network, all nodes within that network will appear 
as if they are 1-hop (L3) away from each other (although I don't really 
know if 11s implements pure broadcast). So, what would happen if you ran 
olsrd on top of the 11s network would be to have all nodes creating 
direct routes (no L3 gateway) to each other.

hope this helps,
Filipe

Not sure if this made sense however since you are about wireless mesh I just thought that I ask the question.
