[Olsr-users] Multi-hop OLSR

[Ben West]

How are the laptops actually building the connections w/ each other?  I.e.
over their wifi adapters, or over a wired LAN?

Also, how are you ensuring the route N1 -> N2 -> N3?  If the laptops are
meshing wirelessly, it may be difficult to ensure OLSR actually choses your
desired route, due to transient fluctuations in wifi signal quality.

If you are not already doing so, I would recommend using the
LinkQualityMult parameter on each node specify negative biases for the
node(s) you do not want to be that node's next hop.
