[Olsr-users] Multi-hop OLSR

[Ricardo T. Macedo]

Hi Ben,

  Thanks for your help. The laptops are connected over wifi adapters. I
have ensuring about the route through the protocol information (as
illustrated in the attached figure). How do I use the LinkQualityMult
parameter on each node in OLSR version 0.5.6-r2?

Best regards,
Ricardo.
