[Olsr-users] 2 hop nodes cost and packet loss

[Vamsi Gondi]

Hi,

i am developing a testbed using OLSR on PCEngine Alix with Debian, i have 6
nodes as the part of the experiment, i initially used v0.5 version later
moved to v0.6.5.2, i have enclosed the setup topology.

I have a gateway 192.168.0.210

1 Hop Nodes 192.168.0.196, 192.168.0.198, 192.168.0.199

2 Hop Nodes 192.168.0.197, 192.168.0.200

i dont have any issues with the 1 Hop nodes with the current configuration
setup, but when it comes to 2 Hop nodes the cost goes to infinite most of
the time even though they are in range with 1 hop nodes.

Also when they establish the link, i have lot of packet losses and link is
not stable for longer duration's. (I can Ping most of the nodes with
variable latency like 6ms, 24ms. 43ms, 63ms, 6ms, 20ms from one packet to
packet). I cant access most of the websites, tested with wget, after
resolving the domain it says no route to host.

please advice
