[Olsr-users] reduce OLSR bandwidth by tuning emission intervals

[Henning Rogge]

The timing parameters only depend on the change-rate of your network.
If your network is very stable, you can get away with longer timings.

Of course to grab an idea from above, a variable timing of the
TCs/HNAs/MIDs would be better.
