[Olsr-users] Recommendation for maintaining accurate local times on nodes?

[Henning Rogge]

Stable OLSRd use the realtime clock, but sanatize the output. Every
times the clock moves forward for more than 60 seconds or backwards,
OLSRd assumes a millisecond passed and goes on.

the next version of OLSRd I am working on will use the monotonic clock
if available.
