[Olsr-users] Getting OLSRD to "switch" faster

[Markus Kittenberger]

linkquality winsize is deprecated/unused since quite a while,.. changing it
will have no effect

further you must change tc intervals aswell (e.g. to ~ 3x hello interval),
and u must change this (and hello intervall) on all nodes, not only on your
robot,..

further change the dijkstra intervall/limits also,..

this (as long as you are willing to accept the amount of olsrd traffic this
will produce (if u use message intervalls > 1hz)) this should enable you to
switch in less than 5 hello intervalls

regards Markus

p.s. olsrd uses metric plugins, if u want another metric write another
metric-plugin (-;

omg *G please post your complete configfile,..  and oslr version,..

is there no point where the robot sees both nodes at a corner?
