[Olsr-users] AVAHI on OLSRd

[Max IP]

thankyou for the reply.

PC1--PC2--PC3

According to the mdns topolgy for OLSRd, does it mean I need to have two routers r1 and r2 every time to relay mDNS messages?

Is there any plugin which supports avahi  when the end users have olsr protocol running?

thanks in advance
max
