Ok, it helped.

FYI, I am able to run OLSRv2 with DLEP router plugin, by using the 
following command.

     /usr/local/bin/olsrd2_static tap15 --set global.plugin=dlep_router 
--set global.plugin_path=/opt/git-root/oonf/build --set 
dlep_router[tap15].discovery_mc_v4=224.0.0.110 --set 
dlep_router[tap15].discovery_port=270 --set 
dlep_router[tap15].discovery_bindto=0.0.0.0/0

I could see the following additional entries with 'netstat -nlpu|grep 
olsr' command,

     udp    0    0 15.0.0.1:35038     0.0.0.0:* 29302/olsrd2_static
     udp    0    0 224.0.0.110:270    0.0.0.0:* 29302/olsrd2_static

tcpdump shows the following packets (however, don't know what they are, 
as I don't have any dlep_radio running),

     17:30:58.643168 IP 15.0.0.1.35038 > 224.0.0.110.270: UDP, length 7
     17:30:59.743133 IP 15.0.0.1.35038 > 224.0.0.110.270: UDP, length 7

Thanks.
