[Olsr-users] NOW SIMPLEST EXAMPLE: OLSRd - can't understand routing

[Derek C]

Hi again,

Ok - I'm still at this and here is the simplest example of all - it
happens when two multi-homed OLSRd nodes are close enough together for
their customer antennas to chat together and it is taking preference over
the backhaul route: -


GATEWAY OLSRd SERVER - 5.0.0.1
 |          |            |
 |          |            |
 ETH0       ETH0         ETH0
 5.1.0.1   5.1.0.2      5.1.0.3
 OLSRd1    OLSRd2       OLSRd3
 5.2.0.1   5.2.0.2 ---- 5.2.0.3
 ATH0        ATH0          ATH0

This is what is happening to me:  Above you can see that the 2.4Ghz
customer omnis on ATH0 interfaces can chat to each over (5.2.0.2 and
5.2.0.3) due to being around 800 Mtrs from each other

As a result a "traceroute -n 5.2.0.3" from the gateway OLSRd server
(5.0.0.1) gives the following: -

 1  5.1.0.1  2.466 ms  3.047 ms  3.039 ms
 2  5.2.0.3  8.326 ms  8.993 ms  9.000 ms

I want the routing to go via the eth0 interfaces as its the better faster
backhaul (5.8Ghz point-to-point) route.

Is there a way do correct this?

thanks very much,

Derek
