[Olsr-users] olsrd bandwidth vs static routes

[Joseph Chop]

I'm currently investigating the bandwidth olsr achieves.  Oddly, its better
than static routes.  Any reason why?

I'm running olsrd on two N800s (running Maemo Linux), with default
settings.  I've measured with a couple of tools (iperf, ttcp, nuttcp).  So
with static routes, ie issuing commands like ip route add 192.168.0.1 dev
wlan0, I get a transfer rate of about 3 Mbps. However when I run the test
with olsrd running I get almost 4 Mbps.  For some reason running the daemon
speeds up transfer, even though its not really choosing a better route
(theres only one).
