[Olsr-users] trouble with NAT and smart gateway

[Markus Kittenberger]

afair smart-gateway does not do anything useful for your setup,.
as its only for hna announcements of 0.0.0.0/0 (and useful only if u have
multiple nodes announcing this)

anyways to simplify things, do not use smartgateway, hna alone is enough!

and if possible (to simplify more) also remove the NAT in your testcase,
use a static route on your target towards the mesh inestead,..

or just try (and verify the amount of packetloss of) an udp stream to node
C, and not the node behind C,.. (so you can leave away the hna too)

if this simplified setup works, you have issues with nat/hna,..
if not, you have problems with mobility (which usually can causes "some"
packetloss, and maybe just too much for your udp stream)

if (and only if) u are moving out of range fast, u might need shorter
hello/tc intervals,..

as long as u do not expect no packetloss, udp works fine,..
