[Olsr-users] Doubts about Willingness, MPR Selection and Routing.

[Alex López]

One last question.

You said that the MPR selection algorithm was discarted long time ago in
the olsrv1 right? But when I check the olsr info plugin I can see that some
nodes are MPR and some no. Here
http://www.olsr.org/docs/README-Link-Quality.html you explain how the MPRs
are selected when LQ is set to 1 or 2, it's this algorithm (LQ extension)
working in the olsrv1?
