[Olsr-users] OLSR topology and VPN links

[Markus Kittenberger]

olsrdv1 protocol can not store this infomation.

so olsrd does not (and does not need to know) which interfaces are involved
in remote links

(so it does only know it for its own links)

furthermore, (to get this even more complicated) if nodes have conenctivity
via vpn and wifi, only one of this link is known to the network (the better
one)
