yes, that would be a test.

you can also block traffic from node 1 to node 3 via blocking it's  
mac addr. Then you have to route thru node 2.




be sure to use a current version of olsrd (tip) and tell use any  
bugs. Also be sure to use a current olsrd.conf file.
A good starting file is: files/olsrd.conf.default.lq-fisheye
Be sure to adapt the intervalls to lower values since you will want  
more mobility in your test setup.

That actaully is a good critique... I should really write something  
for the web page.
Thanks!
