[Olsr-users] Mesh on Gondola

[Hesameddin Alizadeh]

It means a Node could have lots of directly neighbors and lots of MPR to reach two-hop neighbors ? 
How do I change on election to be or to be not a Node MPR ? (Willingness)

I would suggest keeping it this way, the MPR algorithm is not really good (its the one proposed in the RFC).

I think you misunderstand something about MPRs...

EVERY node chooses (independently) its own MPR set... which is a subset of the DIRECT neighbors of the node through which it can reach all two-hop neighbors.

So its a matter of "point of view".

"A node is MPR" does not make sense in terms of OLSR, only "A node is MPR for a certain neighbor".
