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

[Alex López]

You say that I should left ETX active and turn off the MPRs but in the
options available for OLSRd, the only option I see is the Link Quality
option 0 or 2. If I select the option 2, the ETX is active, but it says
that it will use ETX to calculate the MPR and the routing, so I don't know
how to specify disable the MPRs.

However, aren't MPRs the core of OLSR protocol? In theory, the MPRs are
done to minimize the flooding of control messages in the mesh network, so,
if you are not working with them, how is the Olsrd v1 working? Is all the
traffic going broadcast to all the neighbours instead of going only to the
MPRs?
