[Olsr-users] Link Cost figures

[Alex Masidlover]

Hi,

That's very useful to know which figure represents what - in this case  
the node 'dropped off' the network after serveral weeks of  
uninterrupted running and with no configuration changes. At least now  
I know which direction packets are being lost in...

Thanks,

Alex
