[Olsr-users] [Olsr-dev] Configuring TC redundancy parameter?

This actually explains a lot. A couple questions:

(1) We were thinking it would be reasonable in our network to use only
signal level in path length calculations. Our main problem is that
fewer-hop paths are preferred, even if they use a weak,
geographically-separated link. This results in enormous losses for us. Is
this tunable or does it require a rewrite? I've notice that ETX has become
the default link-sensing metric.

(2) Perhaps to stabilize the MPR selection, it would suffice to calculate
link quality over a longer period of time. As most of our nodes aren't
mobile and are always up, this would make sense. What do you think?

Thanks for your help!
