TC retransmission and link timeout, same as OLSRv1... OLSRv2 is NOT a new 
protocol, it's an improvement on the old one in terms of complexity (no 
MID/HNA messages), package format and specification, including handling of 
linklayer metrics. You could run an OLSRv2 compatible routing daemon with 
nearly the same code as the OLSRv1, except message handling and some 
cornercases.
( I think I answered this question to you before )
