[Olsr-users] G1 / Linksys WRT demo

[marc fawzi]

I wish there as a simulation model for this so we can play with the various
values and see what happens... you know, just to understand how this would
work without having to actually deploy the nodes in a real neighborhood,
which takes a lot of social engineering.

For example, the values would include type of node (air interface only or
both LAN and air), Tx gain, Rx gain, average number of neighbors, etc...
